Steve,
The collisions are normally minor, but don't you love the way people call
out conflicted rules in an effort to place blame on the other party.

PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is handicap system for sailboat
racing. It is design to equalize the performance rating between different
sailboat designs. It normally is only used for local "Beer Can" sailboat
races. Most serious competitive racers prefer "One Design" races so it
equalizes the sailboat and highlights the performance of the captain and
crew.

Exactly. When I used to race Hobie Cats, we didn't have those problems.
And collisions rounding the marks (which happen a lot) were relatively
minor since they were small light boats.
