The Netherlands RS Aero Year Ranking 2018
This year saw a wonderful increase in RS Aero activity in Holland. Thanks to Gerard Vos for putting a series score together for the Dutch RS Aero events through 2018.
Here is Gerard's summary;
After reading Tillerman’s Aerobian blog I was inspired to calculate a series result for the regatta’s the Dutch RS Aero class sailed in 2018. The situation in the Netherlands is quite the same as New England, USA : a series of nine regattas on a calendar, without prior thinking about a year ranking or overall series result. So yet another black hole to fill!First some statistics;
2 regattas (Giesbeek and Open Dutch Skiff Trophy) saw only 1 RS Aero at the start line: me. I choose not to calculate a bullet for me and a DNS for everybody else. The Boterletter regatta had no entries.
The 6 other regattas had 23 different sailors, both from The Netherlands and Germany. No sailor sailed all 6. Karlijn, Jan, Maarten and me sailed 5.
Because I am ending up #1 in that overall ranking I need to be transparent in the applied calculation rules:
• All regatta’s count (here we differ from Tillerman). This way you are –on purpose- rewarded for sailing many regatta’s.
• Only regatta’s with an Aero class result count (Mixed handicap classes with other boat classes do not);
• The final DNS for not starting a regatta is total unique competitors + 1 (DNS points will probably change after each regatta). In 2018 we had 23 sailors, so; DNS = 24 points.
• The RS Aero World Champs do not count;
• An RS Aero Class Championship or Dutch RS Aero National Championship will score double points (first place is 2 points)
• There is 1 discard
