The Open A fleet race under yardstick ratings to give each boat a fair chance of winning. The
National ratings have been altered slightly so that similar speed boats have been grouped to
encourage tactical sailing. This is a very competitive fleet with many sailers in this fleet
holding New Zealand titles and masters games titles. The differant boats enable slower sailers
of a class to still get close racing with a faster boat of another class. The racing is
extremly tight with only seconds seperating boats on rating.
