Hi Chuck G, No, Ranger guy didn’t take a PRHF hit - which shows one of the many problems with PHRF in my RSA. For his rating with the asym, our scorer and handicapper just used his spinnaker rating as if he was flying a symmetrical.
Yes if your son stays out here this summer, there are several good sailing scenes (Chatfield, Cherry Creek, Dillon) he can connect to.
