Analysis of 2007 Regattas - Who Would Have Won the IRC Series?
All of the 2008 scheduled regattas were
conducted in 2007, except for the 2008 SCYC Anniversary Regatta.
Using the results from the Stone Cup, Spinnaker Cup, Aldo Alessio and Big Boat
Series, we scored them according to our proposed 2008 scoring formula. We
didn't bother rescoring the Spinnaker Cup under IRC, we simply took the PHRF
results. We then applied the formula proposed for 2008 scoring and it
yielded the following winners:
| Place | Boat | Points |
| 1st | White Dove | 1.86 |
| 2nd | Swiftsure II | 2.28 |
| 3rd | Scorpio | 2.55 |
| 4th | Tupelo Honey | 3.21 |
| 5th | Rancho Deluxe | 4.38 |
| 6th | Heartbeat | 4.65 |
| 7th | Encore | 6.92 |
These results are a bit misleading since several boats missed several races.
Nevertheless, we think it's a good sanity check on the scoring technique as the
above boats sailed well overall.
The following very detailed spreadsheet shows how we arrived at the above results.
