Those with a question mark or parked in the Atlantic Ocean have yet to be confirmed. (also No Coasts to be placed)

Identical to 2001 as no complaints or suggestions received for modification. We will score both the overall handicapped results and the individual age group results. One point for first, two for second, etc. Did not enter scores 100 points initially but this will be adjusted to the largest number of sailors plus 1 so that a sailor who enters a regatta will always received some scoring benefit. At the start of the season everyone is equal with 300 points, with the possibility of working all the way up to 3 points. Those who do three events will almost always finish ahead of those who only two events etc. And, of course, you must be a member of ILCA when you sail your events. Fred will check on status.

Other standard items requested by masters sailors. (the fair sex rule added April 10, 2002)
