CarpeDiem 434 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Trying to find some details on the PHRF measurements but have come up short... Can anyone confirm if the "Largest Headsail" measurements should be done against a "Code 0" or the largest Genoa? I am guessing Code 0, but can't find this documented anywhere.... Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 check here and download the rules - they refer you to the IRC definitions. http://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/racing/handicaps-ratings/phrf Don't have them with. E but pretty sure IRC treats a code0 as a spinnakar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 If the mid girth is under 75% of the foot lengh then it's measured as a headsail. 99% sure it will be measured as a headsail unless it's was built as an IRC sail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 shiit - had better look up the rules again before the coastal entries start coming in. Brain is struggling to recall all these little facts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarpeDiem 434 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks for that. Yup the zero is a head sail. So reading the IRC rules which PHRF references there are several many other rules which I presume don't apply to PHRF. eg: * use of stored power to adjust rigging must be declared. * more than three Spinnakers must be declared and will give an increase in rating Not that these are an issue for me, am I correct that these don't apply to phrf and that the reference to IRC rules is purely for the measurements definition?

B00B00 310 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yes I believe you are correct, its just for the definition of sail measurements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Correct Womble, no limitations on kite numbers and no requirement to declare use of stored power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
