Average Points per Race – CYC Sunset Series

The chart below shows the average points per race for the six top-scoring boats. For each boat, the points plotted for each race represent the average of that boat's race scores through that race, ignoring her worst scores (1 to 4 depending on year). For example, the points shown for 2008 race #6 are the average of the boat's best four scores through race #6 and the points shown for 2008 race #15 are the average of the boat's best 13 scores through race #15.

    2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000    

Note that 2008 is somewhat unique in that the winning average score was below 9.1 (and even below 8.5!) for the first time ever. Also, in four of the seven years (2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006), the boat that was leading with three race scores wound up winning and in one year (2007) the boat that was 2nd wound up winning. In that respect, the 2008 season was very different from prior years. [Alternate non-Flash version of this page available here.]
