With the International Canoe class returning to a development status, the class accepts that handicaps for club racing will need to evolve with the new designs.
The PY system provided by the RYA is the main guide for handicaps based on club returns but the Class Association appreciates that this can be a slow process. With this in mind the Class works closely at various levels to constantly monitor the handicap of the various factions within the fleet to make sure that racing can be fair across a wide set of conditions, skill of the helmsman and most importantly the type of courses sailed. Based on current performance and averaging across a wide range of factors the Class recommended PY ratings recommended are as follows;
International Canoe post GBR305: 893 (or as modified by the RYA PY committee)
International Canoe One Design pre GBR 306 and the Slurp design: 920
Asymmetric canoe (A mark on the bottom of the mainsail): 870
