General National 12 chat / Yardsticks
07 Mar 2006, 03:20
Hi folks!
I have recently applied for a yardstick number for my Tigress for the Ammersee in Germany. Since there is no international yardstick for the 12, the local committee have taken the Portsmouth Yardstick number for the 12 and compared the value with that given for (internationally) recognised boats sailing in the same or similar waters in Germany. I am having difficulty in convincing the local committee that my Tigress is not the same as the fast types who have been given a very low German yardstick, effectively putting me into a class far faster than poor old Nutty Shell deserves. Any suggestions as to how I might proceed? I read somewhere that there was a suggestion in 2003 to give AC boats such as mine (built 1980) the value of 1130 (Portsmouth). Have there been any further developments to date?
