2015 Notices and Actions
28 April Council Meeting 1) Discussed PHRF website modifications for the current year. System is open for business. Several certificates have been issued with no apparent issues.
2) Continued discussions concerning course of action with “Reportable Boat Mods”. (See 2015 ECSA PHRF Regulations for definitions and requirements.) Agreed that Council will address the significant items on a case by case basis.
3) Agreed to establish a base boat handicap of the J-125 at PHRF -6/12.

5) Reviewed preliminary results of the contracted effort with US Sailing concerning handicap adjustments for mainsails that do not conform to IMS Rule #826. Results to date seem to validate current ECSA methodology however there are some usability issues. We will continue to work with US Sailing to refine this work, and until this study is complete, ECSA will continue to evaluate using the 2015 ECSA stipulations.
