Many have tried to setup a performance based handicap system but most have failed due to lack of information. Interestingly the new "Sailwave " scoring program has a feedback system and the likes of the RYA have expressed interest to get better more fair handicap systems.

The problem is though as fast as the Handicap system changes, the speed of development seems to keep one step ahead, but with a little investment and the use of computers, surely we should be in a better position than we really actually are.
