The Commodore entertained applications for reduced handicaps. The official adjustments were:-
Category | Allowance |
---|---|
Inexperienced Helm | Start 5 minutes earlier |
Junior Crew | Start 1 minute for each junior crew (<16) member |
Helm/Crew in fancy dress | Apply to Commodore (on Volante) – max allowance 5 mins. Commodore’s decision is final! |
New Member aboard: | Start 1 minute early for every new (in 2021) member aboard. |
Handicap appeal: | The Commodore will entertain claims that the handicap is rubbish. Max allowance of 5 mins. Claimants will be expected to win or face a forfeit the following day. |
A surprising number of allowances were claimed and permitted - although the Sailing Sec notes with interest that the Handicap appeal was not used.
A claim for a verruca was disallowed, perhaps as well because the ailment had healed itself by the end of the race. A claim for a hip replacement was surprisingly awarded although the recipient did not make good his offer of showing the scar for a payment of £1.
