The NCPHRF has compiled a listing of base ratings for boats that have been rated in the Bay Area. These base ratings represent boats in their standard configuration and have been assigned in accordance with the current NCPHRF Rules and Guidelines. Individual ratings for some boats may have been adjusted based on their particular configuration.
For information on adjustments to NCPHRF Base Ratings, please refer to the NCPHRF Rules & Guidelines.
In addition to the Base Rating report, the NCPHRF has available the listing of boats with a current NCPHRF certificate. The listing of current boats is available as a PDF; it can be searched for a particular boat by clicking using the search function of the PDF viewer.
Starting in 2010, the NCPHRF Committee introduced Downwind Ratings. These are ratings that only apply to races that are historically downwind events. As downwind performance is strongly affected by length, downwind sail area, displacement, and wetted surface, downwind ratings can vary significantly from standard ratings. A Downwind Rating FAQ is available here. Actual Downwind Ratings for boats that have current certificates can be found on the NCPHRF Current Certificate Holders reports above.
In 2013, The NCPHRF Committee changed the way in which Downwind Ratings are displayed. PHRF downwind is an entirely different system than normal PHRF ratings. The only connection is that the ratings are ratified by the same NCPHRF Committee. The downwind number represents a typical “speed” a boat would be expected to sail in seconds-per-mile on a predominantly downwind course*. Before 2013, this number was shifted to appear more like a normal PHRF rating; but the Committee felt this shift created confusion, rather than reducing it. We have eliminated this shift in order to emphasize that PHRF and PHRF-DW are conceptually different systems.
* in a rather slow race; in a fast race (windy conditions), a boat can be expected to sail to a number about 20% lower.
The YRA administers PHRF Certificates for boats based in Hawaii.
