CHRF/H Fleet Overall Season Champion
The Club Handicap season champion will be determined by combining each yacht’s finish from the H fleet and CHRF seasons. Boats entered by members of clubs other than SBYC will be removed from the H fleet scoring prior to this calculation. The lowest combined score determines the Handicap Champion and skipper qualified to race in the Centennial Regatta. For example, if a competitor places 4th in the CHRF High Point, and 3rd overall in WW, its score is 7.
