SPINNAKER FLEETS <\/strong>you now have head sail credits, changes to boats with non overlapping head sails and oversized spinnaker penalty changes. CRUISER FLEETS<\/strong> note.\u00a0 You have removed initially reported equipment (dinghy motor on stern pulpit, dinghy, etc).\u00a0 Please report all removed equipment OR added equipment to get your certificate corrected.\u00a0 Also, the 4 cruising spinnaker measurements and Jc and Ic need to be reported to WFPHRF so you can fly the sail in a race or be scored in a BOTY series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The West Florida Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (WFPHRF), serves Florida from Crystal River to Marco Island, including all of the Tampa Bay area.\u00a0 The objective of WFPHRF is to establish and maintain an equitable system of handicapping <\/span>members<\/span> boats.<\/span><\/p>\r\n WFPHRF does not use measurers.\u00a0 We rely on the honesty, sportsmanship, and Corinthian spirit of the membership to ensure that accurate information about a boat’s configuration is made available to the Rating Committee to determine the boat’s ratings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n WFPHRF rates boat models, not skippers nor crew. A WFPHRF rated boat should be driven by the owner or his non-professional designee, NOT a sail maker or other professional member of the boating industry. The utilization of professional drivers or paid crew for the purpose of “trophy hunting” violates the Corinthian spirit and amateur nature of our fleet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n WFPHRF Ratings are performance handicaps, based on the speed potential and performance of a boat.\u00a0 To the greatest extent possible, race results and observations of actual races provide the data used to determine and monitor ratings.\u00a0 Ratings are determined by members who serve voluntarily as Handicappers on the Rating Committee.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is racing season again.\u00a0 All certificates expired on July 1, 2026 and, if you haven’t renewed already, should be renewed now.\u00a0 Certificates that expired on 7\/1\/2025 or 7\/1\/2024 can be renewed on line at Renewals & Members Log In.\u00a0 If your certificate expired 7\/1\/2023 or earlier, click New Application to access the new […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":89,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-cover.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1145"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1145"}],"version-history":[{"count":47,"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2419,"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1145\/revisions\/2419"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/89"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westfloridaphrf.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
