Managing Class-Based Handicaps (CBH) and One-Of-A-Kind (OAK)

Australian Sailing (AS) generates CBH numbers to allow Trailer-Sailors of different designs to compete with other designs and produce meaningful results.

A recent major review reset the CBH relativity with Off-the-Beach boats (OtB), causing a rewriting of the AS list.

The list also includes some OAK entries, where individual boat owners have obtained a OAK CBH to suit design changes to the hull and/or rig carried out by the owner.

These changes are now reflected in the latest TopYacht Class-list contained in the virgin database. There are several classes that are not present in AS’s list. It is assumed that AS will recalculate and re-publish CBHs for these classes on an as-requested basis from the various class associations.
