Holy crap.... I thought we were talking Portsmouth and "cheaters" ...
now that we are talking about the Rudder club handicap system... which contains a WAG factor.
Give me a break.... anybody claiming XX is cheating best apologize.
The DPN and mods provided to the Rudder Club still need to be valid. The issue remains the same. If they were using another handicap system it would still go through the RCHS.
This is a pursuit race so yes there is another layer of jiggery pokery.
It's just the Mug Race, I enjoy it others don't and still others take it way to seriously. Do you really think the monohull guys could give a sh!t about who wins the Mug? Although, it was pretty cool when the Scow won it... pssst Roberts finished fourth that year.
