Know your PHRF rating?

What’s the PHRF rating of your boat? PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is the system that allows boats of different designs to compete against each other. Racers often complain that the system is not fair, especially when they lose, but without it there wouldn’t be much amateur racing.

Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_Handicap_Racing_Fleet

And here is Northern California’s YRA’s downloadable list of boats and ratings: https://yra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/ncphrf_baserates.pdf
