Adjusting handicaps is often a thankless and very difficult task- helm skill is very often the main factor.
I find 2 or 3 sailors in other classes of the same experience, age etc in any handicap event and am not surprised to finish fairly close to them.
The best solution to the py? work hard on getting some more people to buy a Solo and enjoy racing them and treat the other classes as a nice background to " real racing".
When I was out on the Solo open circuit I had a simple measure of a good race- if I could read Jim Hunts sail number when he finished, I had done okay!
