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
adjust accordingly.On Carlyle, we adjust according to the SA/D ratio since our
courses are rather short. Some legs are only a couple miles lon
Thoughts on PHRF:
There are a few PHRF rated boats that seem to defy their rating and sail much
faster. My New Jersey fleet had a J28, a cruiser with a rating 171, similar to
a J24, but with longer waterline and bigger sails. Our rating was 99 and we had
better upwind speed, but In many light ai
Our Typical beercan races were 2.6 - 2.8 nm so it's 198-102= We owe them 96
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

There's a few Catalina 27's on my lake too with phrfs ranging from 198
-213. The 198 phrf boat is said to be an ex national champion with the
hull's gelcoat ground-off to save weight..
He's good sailor (British chap), had fresh sails, was a tough nut to
crack, especially
If it’s any consolation, the Catalina 27s in my club can out-point my 30 MK I
by just a couple degrees, at least when I’m flying a 150% genoa.
