The PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic is thrilled to let you know that 2013 will see the introduction of a prize for the top boat on PHRF, from all keelboat racing divisions. The winner will receive a prize worth $1,000 from North Sails New Zealand.
PHRF is the handicap system applied to all keelboat entrants in the race fleet (cruising entrants can be exempt, and multihulls utilise a separate system). There were 129 PHRF entrants last year.
"It means that one keelboat - regardless of its size or maximum speed - can be celebrated, as the overall race winner on handicap," says race spokesperson Matt Flynn of the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club. "There will be a lot of prestige for the winner, and the prize from North Sails is an excellent one for any boat."
