Sailing In Dublin - DMYC Frostbites
SID Frostbite Involvement
Frostbites are winter dinghy races run in Dun Laoghaire by the Dun Loaghaire Motor Yacht Club(DMYC).Racing is every Sunday for approximately one hour with the starting gun at 1.30. Racing runs from the start of November to end of March.
Sailing In Dublin Club enters a number of boats and encourages all members to take part. The nominal entry fee is split between those taking part, and crew positions as assigned on a rota. Less experienced crew are paired with old hands, so everybody gets to take part. The frostbites are a relaxed fun event and a great introduction to dinghy racing.
Participants are honorary members of the DMYC for the day so you can have a hot shower, hot soup and even hot port after racing. Racing is limited to one hour so it's just a case of wearing a little more gear than you would in Summer.
Portsmouth Yardstick
There are 3 classes in frostbites, Fireball, Laser-1 and Portsmouth Yardstick (PY).The SID boats compete in the PY class. The PY is a handicap system that allows of boats of different designs to compete against one another e.g. 420s, Laser-2, IDRA, Magnos.
Each design if given a rating which is used to adjust their elapsed time around the course, to get their corrected time on which results are based. A
rating of 1000 is parity (like playing off scratch in golf) so adjusted time will be = elapsed time. Otherwise your elapsed time is divided by 1000/Rating.
For instance a Magno has a rating of 1200, so if it finished in 60 minutes, its time would be adjusted to 60 * (1000/1200) = 50min.
A 420 has a rating of 1087, so if it finished in an elapsed time of 60min it would be corrected to 55min-12sec
Some extra high performance boats such as a Laser 4000 have a rating less than 1000 (908), which means that their corrected time would actually be greater than their elapsed time.
The ratings are set by the RYA for the class based on international results, so if you have an old slow boat you are out of luck.
