PHRF is a locally
administered handicapping system that uses the perceived
speed potential of a yacht as the basis for the handicap.
An initial handicap is assigned based on comparisons with
similar yachts. The handicap may then be adjusted based on
the performance of the class of the yacht.
In most fleets there is no
credit for lack of sailing skill or boat preparation. The
handicap is based on the yacht being sailed by a top notch
crew with the best equipment. The PHRF system handicaps
yachts, not sailors.
Since the handicap is
administered locally, you must contact the fleet that
assigns the handicaps for your area to obtain a handicap.
