Criteria

• Note 2. Often once a boat won the Half Ton Cup, the design was subsequently put into mass production. (Such as the Rob Humphries MGHS30 which was put into production in Scotland. A much modified example of the MGHS30 won the Half Ton Classics Cup 2013 which operates under the IRC handicap system.)
• Note 3. All boats race under the IOR handicap system without further handicap.
