The Roster listing on this web site represents the current status of the Master Roster database as of the approximate date the information was posted, indicated on the respective web page. As there are inevitable delays in transferring data, and updating this site, the final authority rests with the database in the PHRF-NW business office.

Data in the Roster listing on this site will be updated periodically throughout the year. More recent data for new or changed boats, new members, etc. in between Roster updates may be obtained at the office.

PHRF-NW Membership Organization

Each member Yacht or Sailing Club which has at least 5 PHRF-NW members may nominate a Handicapper and a Director to PHRF for approval, to represent that yacht club to PHRF-NW. Handicappers are responsible for establishing Standard Handicaps for various types/classes of boats and various measurement parameters affecting boat handicap ratings. They are also responsible for arbitrating performance differences or variability's between types of boats and any protests or disagreements affecting these standard ratings or adjustments. Directors provide the leadership and policy oversight for the overall direction in which PHRF-NW proceeds. Officers are elected from among the current Directors.

PHRF-NW Roster

PHRF-NW publishes an annual Roster (handbook), containing complete information on PHRF-NW, handicap rating calculation information, and the roster of active members which is updated periodically on the website. This annual Roster, PHRF-NW Bylaws along with periodically published Supplements to update the Roster listings should be consulted for complete information on PHRF-NW. The member boat listings on this site ("Boat Roster" pages) are periodic updates to the listings contained in the printed roster, including updated supplement listings, as noted.

The best sources of information about PHRF-NW should be the local yacht club PHRF-NW Handicapper and/or Director. These people are the "connection" to PHRF-NW at the local club racing level..

The Pacific Handicap Racing Fleet of the Northwest was organized in 1966 to offer a unified racing handicapping system for Sailboat Racing in the Pacific Northwest, from Oregon to the northern end of Vancouver Island and inland lakes, rivers, and waters.

PHRF-NW for the last several decades has been an officially recognized handicapping system under PIYA for both United States and Canadian sailboat races conducted under PIYA Yacht Club sponsorship. Membership in PHRF-NW, needed for obtaining a valid PHRF-NW handicap rating certificate, may be applied for through the local yacht or sailing club a boat-owner may wish to race with, or by direct application to PHRF-NW.(All material copyright protected©.)
