West Florida PHRF uses an on line application form for rating and membership application, which requires all information to be provided before YOU CAN SUBMIT THE APPLICATION. It includes the Cruising Application Section ONLY if you choose one of the cruising fleets.
Scroll down for the application form.
Below is a download-able Application Information Guide which lists all the data needed. Most application questions can’t be skipped. If you can’t advance to the next page, look for red boxes with missing information which will be needed to move on. Note that all boat, rig and sail measurements need to be in DECIMAL FEET (10.08’ not 10.1′). There are conversion tables in the Guide and the Application.
Also below is a link to the US Sailing Rigs Dimensions mono hull database where you can find your EXACT boat model and rig dimensions. You can confirm your model by checking the draft or displacement or beam. PLEASE LIST your EXACT MODEL like “Hunter 27-3 SD”, not just “Hunter 27”, etc., as this will help you get a correct rating. If you can’t find your boat in the US Sailing database, click on the Sailboatdata.com link for more boats including multi hulls.
There are several places in the application where you can save your form to complete it later. Provide YOUR email address on page 1 to receive a link and record locator to reopen and complete your form within 14 days. No email address means you can’t get a record locator. We cannot open your form not extend the 14 days, but returning to the form and saving again extends the 14 days.
After completing the form, you can pay the application fee immediately via credit/debit card by clicking the PayPal/Credit Card logos (PayPal is our card processor… you DON’T need a PayPal account but you can use your PayPal account), or choose print an invoice and mail a check to: WFPHRF Application, 11140 9th St East, Treasure Island, FL 33706. Your application will not begin processing until payment is received. Processing can take a MINIMUM of 4 weeks and unique or modified boats taking longer. The application fee in USD is noted at the end of the on line application.
