We used to have fundraiser regattas where the boats bought seconds.  That was always fun.   To stimulate giving, sponsors donated stuff.  Buy a bottle of Bombay rum, get 21 seconds, etc. We raced Touche' at a PHRF rating of 333 one race.  Cost me a ton of $$$ and we didn't win but it raised a

I would lend my support to the +15 seconds to their spinnaker rating for non-spinnaker boats (unless an allowance was already given for asym only). The PHRFNE standard is +12 seconds, but it is not usually enough on windward / leeward courses. I'd think +15 would be good for you considering the d

Rick, there is no fair way. I am the messenger from the area that has both 10 and 15% adjustments. Neither is perfect, and the deviation from perfect depends on the wind. Our Wednesday racers give a 10% adjustment for no spin. Our venue (you've been here, so you know) is a long, rather narrow r
