  • United States Performance Handicap Racing Fleet
    UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET LOW, HIGH, AND AVERAGE PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS for the years 2005 through 2011 (V.1.2 – September 15, 2011) IMPORTANT NOTE The following pages lists base performance handicaps (BHCPs) and low, high, and average performance handicaps reported by US PHRF Fleets abstracted from well over 4100 boat classes or types. These are displayed in Adobe Acrobat portable document file format. Use Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, to display specific information in this list for each class. Class names conform to US PHRF designations. The information for this list was culled from data sources used to prepare the “History of US PHRF Affiliated Fleet Handicaps for 2011”. This reference book, published annually by the UNITED STATES SAILING ASSOCIATION, is often referred to as the “Red, White, & Blue book of PHRF Handicaps”. The publication lists base handicaps in seconds per mile by Class, number of actively handicapped boats by Fleet, date of last reported entry and other useful information collected over the years from more than 60 reporting PHRF Fleets throughout North America. The reference is divided into three sections, Introduction, Monohull Base Handicaps, and Multihull Base Handicaps. Assumptions underlying determination of PHRF Base Handicaps are explicitly listed In the Introduction section. The reference is available on-line to US SAILING member PHRF fleets and the US SAILING general membership. A current membership ID and password are required to login and obtain access at: http://offshore.ussailing.org/PHRF/2011_PHRF_Handicaps_Book.htm . Precautions: Handicaps in this listing are for production boats only where on three or more boats are reported.

  • Tuning the Fractional Rig
    Tuning the Fractional Rig The Aloha 27 (8.2) and 30 models have a fractional rig and owners may find the following article by Bruce Kelley, reproduced from August 1979 "Sail" magazine of interest. Tuning the Fractional Rig Bruce Kelley says attention to shroud tension is crucial. For the past 15 years the majority of offshore-type-racing, has been done with masthead rigs, so the appropriate tuning techniques are not only quite sophisticated but also quite well known. On the other hand the recent resurgence of fractional rigs on the smaller, lighter, performance- oriented boats such as the Ranger 20, Santana 20 and 525, J/24 and Lindenberg 22 has found a good number of sailors in unfamiliar territory. Only those of us moving up from the dinghy world have had any experience with tuning such a rig. The common feature in all these boats is the rig geometry: the forestay attaches to the mast three or more feet below the masthead, a single set of spreaders is swept aft at about 30 degrees, and the rig carries no running backstays. This is not the only fractional rig, but it is by far the simplest and most common. This set-up is also competitive with the more complex rigs held up with one or more pairs of running backstays. You cannot transfer tuning techniques for a masthead rig to this kind of fractional rig. Moreover as often as not dinghy techniques are inapplicable as well for different reasons. This was brought home to me at the Lindenberg 22 National Championships where I had a chance to see a very competitive fleet set up their rigs and I could compare sails, trim and the different sailors' interaction with rig tuning.
