Jean & Jack,We split our group as well, but we seem to have diminishing numbers
on the line, so there are times when we race them together. Hence the need for
a better correction.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Hello Ron,
We do the same thing here in Savannah. We have Class A for the spin boats and
Class B for JAM. Your PHRF rating applies to your boat regardless of the class
entered. Saves a lot of RC grief, but the usual "I lost because my rating
sucks" still applies.
Best regards,

Hi Ron,
We have a pretty simple / easy way to deal with that: We have spin / non-spin
classes with the same phrf ranges..
This way you completely avoid all the complicationsas it's pretty tricky to
judge the spin's advantage: The effects will dependon the length of the course,
it's nature (Is it 'Reachy', triangle, windward/ leeward, etc) and the boats
themselves. Some boats benefit more thanothers.
I think just "adding XX" to Phrf will skewthe results. Having separate spin /
non-spin classes is much simpler,fairer, and less open to controversy.
My 2 cents ,
Good luck with it.

Greetings folks,We have a problem with how to handicap boats that racewith jib
and main only (JAM). ?The PHRF handicaps basically are for spinnakerracing. ?I
believe that there were some clubs, a few only, that adjustnumbers for JAM
boats. ?We make adjustments to the numbers for our lakeconditions and style of
boat (older displacement etc.), but not sure howto fix JAM.Polars that I have
seen for about 6 boats all show with chuteonly. ?Does anyone know if there are
polars for downwind sailing withoutchutes? ?How can one arrive at those
speeds?Could some of you whose clubsadjust numbers let me know any info you can
on how that is accomplishedat your club? ?And the rationale behind the
adjustment.If it gets too specificfor the whole list, we can take it offline
later to keep traffic down.ThanksRonWildCheriC&C 30-1STL
