PHRF Crew Weight
Limitation
For all PHRF entries,
boats will be rated within the following Base Crew Weight
Limitations. Crew weigh-ins are not required for PHRF entries, but
PHRF Crew Weight Limitations may be subject to protest. Boats shall
sail with the same crew in all races, unless crew change is approved
by the Race Chairman. Any request for changes in crew or crew
numbers must be submitted to the Race Office in writing prior to the
race in which the change is to take place. In addition, boats may
carry up to two additional crewmembers above their designated crew
weight limitation provided they accept a handicap 'penalty' as
prescribed below. Entrants intending to carry additional crewmembers
must so indicate on their PHRF handicap application. The PHRF
handicap will be adjusted accordingly and the adjusted handicap will
stand for the series.
