I saw USSAs national PHRF book, the ratings for several boats are quite different, how come?
All PHRF areas in the US operate autonomously. Various areas use different handicapping methods including rating race results and skipper handicapping. Some areas arbitrarily add 20% to the ratings. Some areas do not do any handicapping but use an average of a classs ratings in the national book. Other areas rating reflect prevailing local conditions which favor various classes of boats.
