PHRF-NW Rating Info

Boat Measurement Data......What measurements do you need to get a rating? How to take them. PHRF-NW Speed Potential Ratings are based on several factors:

  • The type of boat it is...for example, a Cal 27, J-29, NY40, Catalina 30, etc.

  • Any of several variants of that type, based on factory options or versions produced by the factory over time (there are at least three variants of Catalina 27 over the years, for example, all with their own standard rating.)

  • Options installed on an individual boat, configuration of sails, mast height, or inboard/outboard motor and propeller variations away from the standard configuration, affecting the standard rating either positively or negatively.

Boat Measurement Process. 

  • Obtain manufacturer's data on the delivered model configuration of your boat
  • Measure your boat to obtain the measurement dimensions listed on this page in Feet and Inches.
  • Mast, deck and boom dimensions are to be as shown on the drawing, below.
  • Sail dimensions are to be taken with the sails flat on the ground, pulled flat with no wrinkles.
  • Obtain an Official PHRF NW APPLICATION AND RATING (A/R) FORM
  • An Application for Rating Form is included here which fits on one page, to send in. (The print on the single-page version may be too small to read, due to web and browser limitations...sorry!). In that event, contact your Handicapper or PHRF-NW for an A/R form....the data that is needed for that form is outlined on the worksheet, below. In any case, PHRF-NW or your Handicapper NEEDS the A/R form. Not your worksheet.
  • Completely fill out the data in the respective areas on the PHRF-NW A&R Form and forward to your local club Handicapper, or if none, WITH YOUR PAYMENT to PHRF-NW, at the address PO BOX 489 , Gig Harbor Wa.  98335. This will take approximately 2 weeks to process once it is received at the office.
  • IF you add or subtract sails or change the configuration of the boat in a way that affects any of these measurements, be sure to tell your HANDICAPPER...and that the data gets logged by PHRF -NW.
