"If you race only PHRF then the one design prescriptions go out the window.
" - Art Kelley
I have to clarify that even PHRF discourages modifications. There are
serveral hundred pounds the previous owner and I always wanted to strip out
of Vapor Trail but never did because of the spirit of the "as-built"
statement in the PHRF rules, that combined with never wanting to hear any
excuses from the cutthroat SOBs we raced against up here.
Here is the excerpt from PHRFNE.org:
"It is the intention of PHRF-NE to handicap boats in an as-built
configuration. PHRF-NE will adjust the handicaps of boats that have been
altered from the as- built configuration to completely compensate for any
expected speed advantage. Variations must be reported to the Chief
Handicapper so that the Fleet can be more accurately handicapped."
