Does the newer style Getaway with reverse bows have a different handicap to the old style Getaway. Is there any data showing any significant difference in performance.
Cheers
Ashley

I'd love to know the definitive answer to this. I'm about to enter an event and there's a motion being argued to change my Handicap rating because I'm in the newer designed boat. I don't see a alternate rating published anywhere.

I fist posted this query back in March. Does anyone have a suggestion if the newer shape Getaway should sail under a different handicap than other older Getaways? If so what should be the alternative handicap. These are the current handicaps for Hobies...

H16. 1.218
Getaway  1.264
Wave 1.521

I would think the burden of proof would lie on those making the claim that it should change. If those protesting can't provide evidence of the need for a rule change, then the rule stands as is.
