Sunfish Handicap

Any ideas for a UK handicap rating for a Sunfish?
How does it compare with other boats, is it similar in performance to any other international class so we can make a comparison for UK handicap fleet sailing.

Cheers

Thanks Mike, I have a had a good look at the USA's portsmouth numbers and they just do not compare to the UK's
When I looked which boats are faster than which, the two different handicap systems have them in very different orders.
 
Nicko, I would assume there is a national sailing body for the UK such as US Sailing is for NA, and I would contact them first.
If you have any links for ratings at all for the UK could you post them?
 
Yes, we have the Royal Yachting Association, who run a rating system also called the Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme, but with some very different figures, although the sunfish is not listed because there are very few sailed in this country.
