Concerning the rating and handicap system for levelling the results of sailing cruiser race, there are many systems in the world since more than 140 years ago. However, almost of all existing rules seem not to function for this purpose, because the long and light boats with big sails have always good results even after the correction by these hadicap systems. Furthermore, these rules are very complicated and not theoretical in view of naval architecture, for instance, very little is taken into account about the boat displacement. From this standpoint, the author has conducted a new theoretical handicap system, deriving from Admiralty Constant, and expressed the boat speed using only three boat dimensions, i.e. waterline length, displacement and sail area. As a result of verification, it proved that this new system can fully solve these problems, and this proposal is authorized by Japan Yachting Association, which is the National Authority to International Yacht Racing Union.
