There are three broad categories of sailing fleets in DRYA races. (Each of these groups is represented by an officer, elected by the group to assist them and speak for their concerns on the DRYA Executive Committee.)

​

For about half of the races ("point-to-point" as we call them), the fleets sail in an area designated by the host club for the day, for the other half of the races ("closed-course"), they compete on a prescribed A or C Course as listed below. (The general vicinity of the A and C courses is shown on the chart in this section.)

Sailing Fleet Race Course

Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) - Course AC

​

While PHRF does not rely on measurements of your boat in the same way that IMS or IRC does, it will be necessary to validate that your boat fits known production standards, that your sails fall within stated size parameters and that nothing has been done to alter the size of the mast, boom, etc.

​

Any of several individuals who help to determine the PHRF handicap figures would likewise be happy to assist you with any questions about the overall process and validation.
