In order to race in Sail Georgina club races and in the Lake Simcoe Inter-club Series, all boats must have a current PHRF Certificate. PHRF stands for Performance Handicap Racing Fleet and is a well established handicapping system that provides a multiplier on the actual time a boat takes to complete a race that allows vastly different boats to compete fairly. A full explanation of the PHRF system is available at the PHRF-Lake Ontario website
http://www.phrf-lo.org/
New boats to the club which are planning on racing this season, as well as boats with new sails or equipment must have their sails measured by the club handicapper before they can race. A certificate costs $25, and is included in the seasonal racing fee of $75.
The club measurer will be available to measure sails and discuss your rating on Friday, May 18th from 4pm to 9 pm and again on Saturday, May 19th after the completion of the on-water racing clinic (from approximately 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm)
Please contact me at
measurer@sailgeorgina.ca (If you are unable to make it to either date above, contact me to make an appointment to have your boat rated)

Club Measurer
