Hello All,
As many of you know, the Mount Sinai Sailing Association conducts racing in the waters just off Mt Sinai Harbor. Our racing program is a great way for members to get out on the water and learn the art and science of yacht racing. Because our boats vary in size and performance, the racing is Handicapped in an attempt to level the playing field. While imperfect, the Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) regulations allow for adjustments based on equipment that may affect performance. Each year, the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound (YRALIS) issues updated PHRF Regulations. As club scorers and handicappers we review these regulations for changes that may affect your rating and thereby leveling the playing field (theoretically). This year, there was one change which stood out and might affect several of our members.
"Cruising Headsail Credit"
The 2022 YRALIS Regulations provide a credit for anyone using an non-laminated, woven polyester/dacron cruising headsail designed to be roller reefed, and is stored on an above deck roller furling system. The sail must be the one the owner commonly uses on both races and cruises.
If you think you may qualify for this credit, or if there are any other equipment changes on your boat that may require a PHRF rating adjustment, contact: sco...@mssa.org
Also, in order to facilitate club racing, the MSSA Handicap Committee will provide a PHRF rating to any member that wishes to participate in a club event. If you think you would like to race your boat, you may contact us to begin the handicapping process.
Regards,
