By Chris Dewar - Photos Julie Geldard

This year’s Christmas Party had a dress theme of Raffles (Colonial Singapore Dress) and many members got into the spirit of the night. None more so than Richard Jenkins.

The night kicked off after drinks and tapas by MC Peter Hackett who was in fine form. He thanked Julie Geldard for all her support during the year with the photography and video work.

Offshore Multihull Rating (OMR) System

The MYCQ Administers the Offshore Multihull Rating (OMR) System, which is used to handicap all Multihull Yachts. It is similar to the IRC system used for monohulls but is tailored to be applied to all Multihull Designs. This website provides:

The MYCQ regularly reviews the OMR formulas by looking at race results and analysing trends and new technologies to ensure the OMR system is current and as accurate as possible.

As with most handicapping systems, it is not perfect and rather than criticizing the system and the people that administer it we encourage you to become involved in the club and contribute to developing the system.
