PHRF Spinnaker vs Cruising Spin vs ORC Spin

[hayesrigging]

ORC is far and away a better rating system than PHRF, whether its for the "racing" boats or racer cruisers.  There is a simple and easy process to get a club certificate without too much hassle.  Much easier to get an ORC certificate than a proper/fair PHRF rating.  We dont have enough race boats on the bay to split the pie into multiple pieces.  ORC for racing and Club Handicap for those that dont want to get a proper racing cert or go PHRF non spin.  Just my two cents.....

Thank you Lakewood Shoe Regatta for classic canvas class and a distance run.  I need to buy someone over there a drink.

By the way i was told once if there are two boats on the water there is a race.....that's all it takes.
