PHRF rating

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm hoping to start doing some fleet racing with my L28 sometime in the next year.  Here in Thunder Bay it's a mixed fleet and I'm the only L28 in town, so we race PHRF.  Thunder Bay Yacht Club follows Lake Michigan PHRF ratings as a general rule.

I found the following link: http://www.lmphrf.org/Look_Up_a_Handicap/look_up_a_handicap.html which notes a PHRF of 126 which appears to be at the low end of the range I've seen online (I'd like to know how Frank managed a PHRF close to 150!)

Assuming for the moment that I need to use this 126 as a starting point, how do I go about asking for a re-rating if I don't use a genoa?  The overall consensus in another thread in this forum seems to be that it's preferred to stick with the lapper except on a reach.

	Laser28's are rated 123 in Montreal. Call your local handicapper and tell him your largest jib is the Lapper and your rating will be adjusted.
