General Handicap
The General Handicap Fleet enables racing for boats which are simply not as common as the other classes and therefore don't qualify for fleet status on their own. These range from older established favourites like the Wayfarer up to the more modern assymetric 29er and everything in between.

Our handicap racing is both friendly and competitive across a wide range of boats and race results are corrected to the Portsmouth Yardstick system.
