DIVISIONS – BASED ON WFPHRF RATINGS

PHRF Class Breaks: In an effort to provide ‘like racing’ under PHRF, boat displacement and other factors will be considered when determining class breaks. Class breaks are intended to follow the format for the WFPHRF BOTY Series if at least three boats are entered in each class. In the event that less than three boats are registered in each class, boats will be assigned a class by the Fleet Captain in consultation with the Black Flag and the decision is final and is not subject to a request for redress. Classes for the 2008-09 year series are as follows:

  • Spinnaker A
  • Spinnaker B
  • Non-Spinnaker – Heavy and/or Light – (excludes the DIYC Classic)
  • Racer-Cruiser

SCORING

This is a High Point Series with each boat receiving 5 points for participating in an event and one point for each DIYC boat beaten. Points will be scored on a per race basis. There will be double points awarded for the Labor Day Night Race, Egmont Key Race & DIYC Classic.

 
DISCARDS

The number of discards will equal 20% of the number of races sailed (.5 will round up). There are approximately 17 races scheduled, this would result in 3 discards. Discarding of the Labor Day Night Race, Egmont Key Race or DIYC Classic will require the use of 2 discards.
