It's certificate renewal time! Why not renew now, BEFORE your first event.

Membership renewals and on-line certificates!

The on-line membership renewal system may be accessed from the Member Services page. You can complete the forms and then pay on-line. If you prefer, it's also possible to print your invoice and mail a check. For security purposes you will need a member login to use the member services features. This login is the same as needed to post messages on the message board. If you haven't already registered, you can do that here. If you need any help with the renewal process, just call the WFPHRF office 727-462-0450 during office hours. We hope you find having the certificates on-line useful. You will notice that although you can view other members certificates, the personal details (address, phone, email etc) are only available to the member who renewed that certificate.

About Us

The West Florida Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (WFPHRF), serves the Florida West Coast from Crystal River to Marco Island and all of the Tampa Bay area. The primary objective of WFPHRF is to establish and maintain an equitable system of handicapping boats for the boats owned or chartered by its members.

WFPHRF does not use measurers. WFPHRF relies on the honesty, sportsmanship, and Corinthian spirit of its membership to ensure that accurate information on a boat's configuration is made available to the Rating Committee for review when determining a boat's Ratings.

WFPHRF rates vessels rather than their skippers or crew. It is assumed that a rated boat will be driven by the owner or his non-professional designee. WPFHRF acknowledges the benefit to the overall competition when professionals are involved in racing and encourages their participation, however the utilization of professional drivers or paid crew for the purpose of “trophy hunting” violates the Corinthian Spirit and amateur nature of this fleet.

WFPHRF Ratings are “performance” handicaps, based on the speed potential and performance of a boat. To the greatest extent possible, race results and observations of actual races provide the data used to determine and monitor ratings. Ratings are determined by members who serve voluntarily as Handicappers on the Rating Committee.
