See your club handicapper to get a PHRF rating. |
New rating certificate - $35. Annual renewals are $30 due by February 01 ($35 thereafter). |
|
Club handicappers will help a skipper complete the rating questionnaire and send it to the chief handicapper for approval. The rating certificate will be mailed to the skipper. Skippers should have their rating certificate available at every race. |
|
Rating Appeals: Skipper must write a letter to the Chief Handicapper explaining the reason for a rating appeal (mail letter to Vicki Cross). Chief Handicapper will meet with club handicappers to discuss and vote on the appeal. |
|
Series Trophies: |
FCSA offers three series of PHRF races this year: Spring Series Trophy, Fall Series Trophy, and Ocean Trophy. When a rated boat is entered in a club race, noted as a FCSA points race on the schedule, the boat is competing for a club trophy for that race and points toward the yearly trophy for the series. Trophies are awarded in three classes: Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker, Cruiser. |
All competitors must have a current PHRF rating from FCSA and be a member of an area yacht club. |
Spring Series Trophy: 6 races; 1 throw out. |
Fall Series Trophy: 6 races; 1 throw out. |
Ocean Trophy: 6 races; 1 throw out. |
