HLSTC Handicap numbers

This table shows the Handicap Numbers in use at HLSTC at March 2024, together with the changes from the 2023 numbers.

The RYA usually updates its database every year, and we then review our figures, making adjustments as appropriate. (Because of the pandemic, we followed the RYA, in using the same figures from 2020 to 2022 inclusive.) Our current figures are in line with the RYA's 2024 base figures for most classes, but as usual, we have adjusted faster boats upwards to reflect local conditions (to approximately half way between the RYA's figure and 1000). Where RYA figures are not available, we have used the best information available from other sources.
