Yeah, but I dont remember what my PHRF was and could care less.
Not to important, we placed in the top 3 in our class of similar boats.
I was more into shaking down redcloud than any other
objective...besides skunking my Neighbors Ketch every year.

How do you figure PHRF and what is it?

Wotsamatta Joe, don't you want to tell us what your PHRF rating is?
Afraid to admit that it's actually higher than Boobsprit's?

Uh huh. And since the results are determined by handicap, ie your PHRF
rating, without knowing what the relative numbers are, this tells nothing.

Why? What did he do to you?

There are several formulas to approximate your PHRF rating given the
boat's specs, but the rating itself is assigned by other sailors... and
adjusted to fit your boat's actual performance... that's why it's "PHRF"
or "P"erformance "H"andicap "R"ated "F"leet. If you win a lot because
your boat is much faster than they figured, they bump it a little bit to
give the others a chance, or vice versa.

If you ever had a PHRF rating, then you had to be given a rating
certificate. Getting a rating for a custom boat is a little more
involved than for a standard production boat, if you ever got one you'd
probably remember it.

Why? What did he do to you?


Nothing. He had a fine well built expensive blue water Ketch named the
Lone Star Love. Same size as RedCloud. He was quite proffesional had a
well honed and trained crew. I like racing against a boat that I
consider a challenge.

We won the race's, he caught the biggest King.

I dont remember, the race is for fun... all the money goes to
charity... and the party was sponsered by barcarddi.


Since Im not planing to race anymore it don't really matter. I may
cruise down for the party.. but racing is not as enjoyable as cruising.
50 miles off Port Aransas has some of the bluest clearest fish filled
water in the world, and to race thru is just un-natural IMO.

If I race the harvest moon again it will be as crew on a 60 foot cat
out of baytown. Or bum a ride on a corsair

Something fast.

That could explain memory loss. It may be that if it's a pretty casual
race, they just jot down a number and don't bother you with details.

I disagree, although it depends of course on the people & the boat.
Plenty of sea room for both activities.

Hi Joe
That race is 150 mile+ right? So if you finish in the allotted time
you have to move along at a pretty good pace.

What was your "class of similiar boats?" (I spelled "similiar"
correctly.)

How do you figure PHRF and what is it?


Now everybody knows you're a ****head.






Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

And your a Jon sucking, big tittie bitch boy.

You can have your PHRF and stuff it up your arse.
