Best piece of "advice" I ever heard was "it's not how you screw up, its how you recover that wins races because everyone makes mistakes".

I guess the fact we beat the hunter across the line, but they win by handicap really got me looking. I think the Hinter's number is off, but that person has what they have. The first race I did this year I was beat out just barely by an Islander 36. They ended up having a150 rating too. I had screwed up a tack and lost the lead I had and there wasn't enough race left to catch them, but I was closing on them. So we took second then too. I guess I just need more tactical experience and not worry about the number. > >Leslie > >On Thursday, October 15, 2015, Allen Edwards al… [at] gmail.com [Cal_Boats] <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > >The USAA PHRF book is the one I was talking about.

Here are the numbers from last year’s USSA PHRF. Obviously depends on the boat parameters you gave, and as others have pointed out, the performance of similar boats in your area (the “P” in PHRF).
