RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme 2006

Portsmouth Number List 2006

Listed Persons, Rig, Spin, Keel and Engine configurations are identified as follows:-

Persons (not used for Keelboats or Cruisers) Number of Persons Aboard as - 1, 2, 3 etc.

Rig U = Una (single sail)
S = Sloop (mainsail and headsail)
M = Ketch or Yawl (mainsail, headsail and mizzen)

Spin (Spinnaker type) 0 = No spinnaker
C = Conventional spinnaker
A = Asymmetric spinnaker

Keel (Cruisers only) F = Central keel
D = Drop keel adjustable while racing
2K = Twin bilge keels
3K = Central and twin bilge keels

Engine (Cruisers only) IBF = Inboard engine with folding/feathering propeller
IB2 = Inboard engine with two-bladed propeller
IB3 = Inboard engine with three-bladed propeller
OB = Outboard or no engine

Use of Trial Numbers
The listed Suggested Trial Numbers have been assessed by the RYA on the basis of very limited Return information.
They may
nevertheless provide useful indicators to assist clubs when allocating their own Trial Numbers. Should a club use a Trial
Number and not review this after racing (see 9.1 in Use of the Scheme) then it's race committee might be the subject of
a request for redress under the racing rules of sailing 62.1(a).

* Development classes where the Portsmouth Number is likely to vary depending on the age and design of the boats.
Clubs
should consider adjusting the Number where it does not reflect the performance of a particular boat (excluding Crew
Skill Factor see 13.12)

Definitions of Portsmouth Numbers

Portsmouth Numbers (PN)
are measures of performance. They represent times over a common but unspecified distance, and are expressed as
whole numbers.

Primary Yardsticks (PY)
are Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA and well attested by many clubs over several years.

Secondary Yardsticks (SY)
are Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA but not as consistently attested as Primary Yardsticks.

Recorded Numbers (RN)
are Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA on the basis of limited information.

Club Numbers (CN)
are Portsmouth Numbers allocated by clubs. They can be Numbers derived from Trial Numbers, or Numbers based on
the RYA lists, club adjusted where necessary.

Trial Numbers (TN)
are Portsmouth Numbers allocated by clubs until a Club Number is assessed.
