PHRF Lake Ontario has supplied both FS and NFS ratings ( if appropriate )
for years. They use to track both FS and NFS races and analyze the results.

For 2012 season this was changed to keeping a FS SP based on race results
and using a calculated offset for NFS.

As other have mentioned the delta is around 16 - 18 sec/mile for some 
fractional rigged boats,
in the 22 - 24 sec/mile for many full hoist rigged boats, and 40+ for "sport" 
boats that might
plane or surf extensively.

Greetings folks,We have a problem with how to handicap boats that race with jib 
and main only (JAM). ?The PHRF handicaps basically are for spinnaker racing. ?I 
believe that there were some clubs, a few only, that adjust numbers for JAM 
boats. ?We make adjustments to the numbers for our lake conditions and style of 
boat (older displacement etc.), but not sure how to fix JAM.Polars that I have 
seen for about 6 boats all show with chute only. ?Does anyone know if there are 
polars for downwind sailing without chutes? ?How can one arrive at those 
speeds?Could some of you whose clubs adjust numbers let me know any info you 
can on how that is accomplished at your club? ?And the rationale behind the 
adjustment.If it gets too specific for the whole list, we can take it offline 
later to keep traffic down.ThanksRonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL
