PY handicap for a Hunter 146 dinghy

[AlistairT]

Hi, does anyone have a PY handicap value for a Hunter 146?

I've googled and found nothing. Couple of guys have one at our club and started racing it, we're keen to support and encourage them to take part, so far we've invented a value of 1200 based on a rough guess of how it seems to perform but an official value would be better!

Not listed in the current RYA list :-(

Thanks

I found the following Australian page handicapping a Hunter 15 (the same thing as a 146, re-badged according to sailboatdata.com), and interpolating from their Laser and Tasar calcs it looks like you are being quite kind.
