To all Duluth Yacht Club members... The
Duluth Yacht Club Ratings Committee has completed the first fleet wide
review of the Duluth Yacht Club fleet ratings since 2006.
This review has followed the new
Duluth Yacht Club Rating Process which has been published on the Duluth Yacht Club website, and
has used the 2013 PHRF data as published by US Sailing.
Due to the new process and review, a significant number
of boats had a change reflected in their base rating, with no single boat having
a base ratings change of more than 3 points. Results of this review
may be found on the
Duluth Yacht Club PHRF Fleet Listing.
The Duluth Yacht Club Race Committee is confident that
the new base ratings are accurate; however, if your boat has had an adjustment,
and you feel the adjustment is incorrect in a specific area such as: an oversize mainsail sail, fixed blade propeller, etc., please contact the
Duluth Yacht Club Rating Committee at: phrf@dulutyachtclub.com
See
ORN-2014-03 for details.
