The following table of adjustments is provided for the guidance of handicappers. Any resulting yardsticks must be regarded as tentative and should be further adjusted in the light of race results. If a boat is entered and a claim is made to use one of the following adjustment factors which increase the yardstick of the boat, it is recommended that contravening these requirements should be regarded as a breach of Fundamental Rule 2 and be indicated as such in the sailing instructions. All adjustments are made on the current yardstick for the rig defined in the yardstick list.
