 Chris McGinley Thu 08 Jun 2023 09:20:06 | Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever raced their manta. I was looking for its handicap to race informally against other boats. Any handicap system would do, IRC, PHRF, PY etc. Thanks | |

For example, you will find that a Manta 19 races with a handicap (118) not far behind the Folkboat (114) https://www.dsv.org/segeln/wettsegeln/seeregatten/yardstick/yardstickzahlen/ | |
