PHRF RATING UPDATE September 2018 Updated ratings added 11/19
Note from Dan West, Fleet
Captain for PHRF Handicaps:
Rule 5.1 of the ASC PHRF
Rules states that certificates are valid from July 1 thru June 30. The current Fleet
Captain for PHRF Handicaps, has declared all certificates shall renew
automatically each year until further notice.
ASC is working with US
Sailing to audit and update ratings. New guidance for adjustments is expected
in 2019.
Note from Johnnie Poole, Past Fleet Captain for PHRF Handicaps:
Back in
2009 we began the new rating system. Prior to that the class rules were not
official and the algebraic formula for deriving the offsets was not approved.
The first batch of boats was rated using the older empirical method as noted on
the years-old ratings lists. Since then, we have refined the method, done
the math and re-calculated the entire fleet.
The
important fact is not the raw number- they all went up - but the spread in the
fleet. From my perspective, it looks like any well-sailed boat can win. As
always, you may question the rating of your boat, or any other. I will help you
work the math. The Fleet Captain for PHRF will look at ratings versus
results and if necessary adjust any glaring problems. Fair winds and Smooth
Bottoms!
