What is the PHRF rating of a J24?
How are PHRF ratings established? For each boat type, the Lake Tahoe PHRF committee establishes a rating in seconds per mile. For example, a J24 might have a rating of 171 seconds per mile while a faster Moore 24 might have a rating of 156 seconds per mile.
What is PHRF sailing?
PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is a system used to handicap racer/cruiser type of sailboats by observed racing performance. Any measurements taken (spinnaker poles, sails, etc.) are used only to identify the boat and to quantify any differences or modifications from what is considered standard.
How do you calculate your sailing handicap?
Divide the “Elapsed Time” of each competitor in turn by the number of laps THEY have completed. Multiply each elapsed time by 1000 (one thousand). Divided each of these figures by the handicap to get the “corrected time”.

How do you calculate time on sailing?
Time on Time (TOT) also uses our PHRF ratings but calculates time corrections as follows: Corrected time = Elapsed time X 650/(550 + PHRF). For example, if your PHRF rating was 120 and it took you 63.5 minutes to finish the race, your corrected time would be 63.5 X 650/670 = 61.6 minutes.
How is Portsmouth Yardstick calculated?
In a race involving a mixed fleet, finishing times can be adjusted using the formula: Corrected Time = Elapsed Time × Scale / Handicap.
What is corrected time in sailing?
After a race, each boat’s elapsed time (the time she has taken to complete the course) is multiplied by her TCC to calculate her corrected time (her race time making allowance for the characteristics of the boat). The boat with the shortest corrected time is the winner of the race.
How does NHC handicap work?
The achieved handicap for each boat in a race is calculated as follows: The sum of the Handicaps used by all the boats that took part in the race divided by the sum of the adjustment scales from boats that took part in the race, multiplied by the individual adjustment scales of boats that took part in the race.
How many nautical miles can you sail in a day?
How many nautical miles can you sail in a day? On average, sailboats can sail up to 100 NM (115 miles or 185 km) in one day when they run downwind. If the engine is used at all, this distance can increase to 130 NM on longer passages. With shorter passages, 60 NM is more typical.
