PHRF is set up as independent stations; US Sailing only reports averages, it
doesn't set them.If you're in a lower wind area, your local station should

a J24, but with longer waterline and bigger sails. Our rating was 99 and we had
better upwind speed, but In many light ai

sec per mile X 2.6 - 2.8 = 4:30 to 4:48 or close to 5 minutes for us LOL.
We were Typically less then 30 seconds ahead in corrected time so always a

club scores via PHRF TOT with A=715 and B=515, so boats rating <200 have time
added and boats rating >200 have time subtracted. In a one-ho
