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 for sending it to the Chief Handicapper for review. Once approved by the Handicapping Committee, a 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 Offshore 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, Cruising. Note that the Cruising class is a ‘Corinthian’ class for those new to racing and those less interested in the competition of it all. |
All competitors must have a current PHRF rating from FCSA and be a member of a partner yacht club. |
Spring Series Trophy: 6 races; 1 throw out. |
Fall Series Trophy: 6 races; 1 throw out. |
Offshore Trophy: 7 races; 1 throw out. |
|
Scoring: (As of Feb 08, the board is reviewing these series scoring rules and they will likely change.) |
Individual Race Scoring will be the low point system, 2009-2012 Racing Rules of Sailing, Appendix A4. |
FCSA Series scoring will
be in accordance with the following, with one throw-out per series. DNF,
RAF = number that started the race DNS,
DSQ = number that came to the starting area DNC
