Re: WNR 4/19/2023 Fleet Results

In there infinite wisdom the GYA decided to hit Neaux Name with a 3 sec dry sailed penalty and rated them 129. An examination of PHRF Ceres for all the J80 found that the system was very inconsistent. 5 of the 10 boats are dry sailed and the others can be pulled at the yacht club and cleaned very easily. As a one design class we decided we were not going to make allowances for wet sailed vs dry sailed. They do not do it on the national level. So we opted for Wednesday Night Racing we would give up the 3 seconds and rate every one at that rather than use obsolete PHRF numbers. We felt the rest of the fleets should be ok with giving 3 seconds to every other boat. Looks like it turned out ok as J80s finished 2nd 3rd and 4th. Remember PHRF is a game one design is racing😎

Ps. We also did not know how the scoring program would handle different ratings in our OD class
