Information On How To Obtain A Valid PHRF Handicap

Handicaps

Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) is a handicapping system used for yacht racing in North America. It allows dissimilar classes of sailboats to be raced against each other. The aim is to cancel out the inherent advantages and disadvantages of each class of boats, so that results reflect crew skill rather than equipment superiority. Each region has its own variation on PHRF rules and ratings, based on local conditions.
