Shellback Portsmouth

[Jeff Benagh]

I raced my Shellback for the first time today in a mixed class regatta.

We had a little difficulty determining the Prtsmouth number. We ended usp with somehting a little faster than an Optimist dinghy. We were'nt able to get the standard formula to give us reasonable numbers (the calculation said I should be as fast as a Laser, which just didn't seem right). We ended up giving it about a 122.

Has anyone calculated a Portsmouth number for a Joel White Shellback?

Thanks a lot,

Jeff

Shellback [110] [] indicating calculated or fewer than five data points; I assume this is Joel White's Shellback, as there are also entries for both Nutshells. No entry for Pooduck, though.

Thanks. I think that would have knocked me back one place. Using the formulas, they thoguht I should be around a 65 which seemed _wayyy_ too fast.
