[C320-list] Racing handicap

[Diane Fowler]

I race in SW Florida in the cruising division.

Yes, I get credits for A/C, anchor & chain, etc

Latest rating is 209.  Keep getting beat by 33' Tartan!  Will need to monitor his # this season....

Best wishes!  Racing is a wonderful way to learn about sail trim and your boat's quirks quickly.
