Well Lee, since you bring up PHRF reviews, let me ask you listers, how often do your clubs or RSAs conduct rating reviews and adjustments?
The introduction in “the book” (https://www.ussailing.org/competition/offshore/phrf/phrf-handicaps/ <https://www.ussailing.org/competition/offshore/phrf/phrf-handicaps/>) says under heading "Considerations when using this listing to determine a handicap by averaging fleet data” that "After the initial handicap is chosen and the boat is raced, an empirical analysis of performance may permit a more refined estimate of its speed potential.” And a review of https://www.ussailing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/USPHRF-Fleets-1.pdf <https://www.ussailing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/USPHRF-Fleets-1.pdf> shows that most clubs derive handicaps from “the book,” then review and adjust based on local experience. So, how many of y’all do that?
