Updates and Improvements to the Portsmouth Yardstick with Nathan Titcomb

The new Portsmouth Yardstick racing platform has launched! As a new benefit for member organizations, US Sailing has partnered with the Royal Yachting Association to create a more robust platform for Portsmouth Yardstick Racing using the PYOnline platform. The accuracy of the ratings is one of the key advantages. The ratings will become more accurate over time, ensuring that competition stays fresh on the water. This means no one boat or class is guaranteed a win or loss based upon ratings alone. Each club will have ratings that are based on their local conditions. US Sailing will update the national ratings for a given class on an annual basis, based upon the ratings used by the individual clubs. Portsmouth Yardstick racing becomes better, more robust and more fun with more clubs and sailors participating. US Sailing Offshore Director, Nathan Titcomb, will host a LIVE session on The Starboard Portal to discuss the updates and improvements to the Portsmouth Yardstick and to answer any of your questions.
