Portsmouth Yardstick - Kingston , Ontario waterfront

The Portsmouth Yardstick is a handicapping formula that includes small boats and dinghys.

From http://www.ussailing.org/portsmouth/:

The Yardstick is a widely used method of rating boats of different classes sailing the same courses and is used by clubs and fleets across the country. It is a time-on-time handicapping system and is derived from actual records of classes of boats with thoroughly documented ratings. Portsmouth Numbers are defined as the length of time boats would take to sail a common but unspecified distance. The formula is easy to use:
CT (Corrected Time) = ET (Elapsed Time) X 100 / HC (Handicap)
