New Certificate Requests:
Certificate 13477 – Luna, Friendship Yacht Co, Friendship 75 model, built 2010, Joe Cleverdon owner, Looking to race the boat in the 2018 Around The Island Race. Only headsail listed is a 109% and only a Code 0 listed. There was a long discussion regarding whether this Code 0 should be rated a headsail or a spinnaker. This has been a discussion topic and more boats are coming before the committee with code 0 sails. The discussion around this boat was based on the type of race course that would complement the boat and it was agreed that long legs would probably be where it would potentially sail to its rating. Committee members present agreed to a provisional base rating of -12.
Certificate 13532 – Alba, German Frers, Dawn 48 model, built 1985, Peter Rosati owner, no spinnakers listed for this boat. Based on other PHRF sites and comparable boats committee members present agreed to a provisional base rating of 93 base.
Certificate 13530 – Coyote, Bavaria, 38 Cruiser model, built 2009, Robert Griffin owner, this is a standard boat with no modifications. It is sailed with an Asymmetrical spinnaker but the size needs clarification which Kathy will call on. After review of the information presented the members present agreed on a provisional base rating of 105.
Certificate 13533 – No Regrets, Beneteau, Oceanis 43 model, built 2010, Gina DeVivo owner, after review of the information submitted it appears that this is a standard model with no modifications.
