The Micro Gem runs a Handicap of 1069

The Micro 18 is slightly faster with a Handicap of 1050

The Swift 18 has a Handicap of 1084

 

Not checked any of the other Micro Cuppers as these are the only ones I have had to use for handicaps at our club

 

PS. A good reference for handicap numbers is available from

Steve,

All are sound but quite well used.  I replace my sails before they
get too stretched but I like to get a few seasons use from them.  
Ages range from 10+ years to about 4.  Sheeting angle of course
depends on position of tracks and blocks.  On the Micro18 the
sheeting angle is typically to make a lot of tension down the leech.
