Notice of upcoming handicapping

changes for 2012

PHRF-Lake Ontario continues its efforts to enhance the fairness and objectivity of its handicaps. It has undertaken a project in conjunction with US Sailing's Offshore Office under Jim Teeters, Associate Offshore Director. Jim has worked on a database of LO boats using their Velocity Prediction Program (VPP).

Ready for the 2012 season will be a calculated delta for the No Flying Sails (NFS) base handicap, modifications to the Genoa size, and propeller type adjustment tables all based on VPP analysis. All changes will be reviewed by Central Council and of course the principle of performance handicapping is still very much in the forefront. More details will be released at the PHRF-LO Annual General Meeting and also the spring training session.

Vice President

Thursday, 19 January 2012 18:50 Diana Riley News - Current Items

As many of you know, Bent Voetmann resigned his post as VP this year leaving the office open for election at the General Meeting.

There were no nominations at the meeting and no VP was elected into that office during the meeting. However, Larry Beneway (President) indicated that Mike Campbell of the Collingwood Yacht Club would be willing to act as Interim VP until the next AGM.

The Executive have the authority (as per page 50 section 5.8 of the Bylaws) to appoint a person to serve until the next General Meeting.

Therefore, we would like to welcome Mike and look forward to working with him.

We would also like to thank Bent for all his contributions over the past few years.

Spring Training Seminar

Wednesday, 23 November 2011 13:35 Diana Riley Announcements - PHRF-LO

The Spring Training Seminar will be taking on a new focus and we are looking for your suggestions.

Our focus will be on "training" our handicappers with everything from measuring a boat to completing and submitting forms.

This will be a great opportunity to introduce potential "new" handicappers to the wonderful world of PHRF-LO handicapping.

Now all we would like to know is:

"WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO PRESENT?"

Our immediate thoughts are:

Identifying a modified boat
Measuring the standard boat
Using the handicappers spreadsheet
What is penalized and what is not?
Sails used Asymmetrical vs Symmetrical
Fat head mains
Measuring sails
Identifying props as standard

Please send the admin office an email with any suggestions you may have and we will see what we can do.

It has been brought to my attention that the new version of Internet Explorer causes problems when trying to do a search via our Valid Lists, Certificate Query and SP List.

If you have upgraded to this version and are now having issues, please try using an older version of Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox until a resolution can be found.

Thanks,

Diana Riley
Executive Assistant PHRF-LO

Bylaw Change

Wednesday, 23 November 2011 17:32 Diana Riley Handicappers - Information

TO ALL MEMBER CLUB HANDICAPPERS!

The PHRF-LO Central Council will be putting forward changes to the "Appeal procedure" which is part of the Bylaws and will require approval at the Annual Meeting planned for January 14th.

Please review the attached document to familiarize yourself with the proposed changes.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PHRF-LO Admin office.

C&C 30 Update

Tuesday, 22 November 2011 13:35 Diana Riley News - Current Items

We have been informed that there was a change in boom height on the C&C 30 during the production of the boats.

In Sept 1978, C&C changed the height of the boom for safety reasons, which means the P value for the standard boat would be 33.00' (vs 34.00').

According to our research, this began with Hull number 507.

Therefore, we have identified this in our Standard Handicap list and are asking owners and handicappers to contact us if a change to a certificate is necessary.

NOTE: there is no difference in handicap between the 2 version as Central Council felt there would be no change in performance.
