See your club handicapper to get a PHRF rating. Non certificate holders may apply for Associate Membership. |
New
rating certificate - $35. Annual renewals are $30 due by March 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 published online. Skippers should confirm that their rating certificate is available for review by each Race Committee. Keep a copy on board or at least have access to the internet for proof using the online current list of rated boats. |
Rating Appeals: Skipper must write a letter to the Chief Rater explaining the reason for a rating appeal (mail letter to the address above). Chief Rater will meet with club handicappers to discuss and vote on the appeal. This is covered in the FCSA PHRF Rules. |
Series Trophies: |
FCSA offers the overall Circuit Trophy. When a rated boat is entered in a club
race, noted as a FCSA series 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
Performance and Cruising classes (and Sport and Multihull classes if and when sufficiently populated). |
All competing boats must have a current PHRF
rating from FCSA. Details for 2023… refer to Scoring Grid |

Scoring: |
Individual Race Scoring will be the low point system, RRS Appendix A4 (as modified by the SI’s of course). |
FCSA Series scoring will be in accordance with
the following – “Different than Appendix A”. DNF, RAF = number that started the
race. DNS, OCS, DSQ = number that came to
the starting area. DNC = number that registered and
attempted to race. Races abandoned will be scored DNF,
DNS, DNC, etc. as appropriate. Ties will be decided using the current Racing Rules of Sailing, Appendix A8. |
