	Portsmouth Handicapping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Portsmouth ratings, adjustments and rules are administered on a national level and require very little work at the local level (other than reporting our results to US SAILING).
		Portsmouth ratings are wind speed adjusted and use time-on-time which should result in more accurate handicapping in our light air inland lake conditions.
		Portsmouth makes similar assumptions, but Portsmouth ratings are based on actual race results throughout the nation and the calculated ratings seem to reflect the actual cruising configuration of many boats.

	Racing Calculations
		The North American Portsmouth Yardstick is a widely used method of rating boats of different classes sailing the same courses.
		The time of the first boat of a class, however, is used to derive handicaps as a function of wind velocity and, ultimately, Portsmouth Yardsticks (D-PN), thereby approximating the assumption that the boat was sailed close to its potential.
		It is not practicable for the Portsmouth Numbers Committee to try to anticipate all of the changes possible, so some adjustments may need to be made on a local level.

		The Time on Time formula, which is more complicated because it further corrects the TOD correction, is explained on this page: http://www.ussailing.org/phrf/TOT.htm The Portsmouth Yardstick is a much simpler system in which a boat MODEL is given a base handicap under a variety of wind conditions.
