Blocks in History More Efficient Than the Harken V:
1 ___ 2 ___ 3 ___ © Max Ranchi
4 ___
V-angled titanium bearing races properly orient titanium roller bearings to handle all axial and thrust loads. That eliminates all unnecessary parts and weight. V blocks are the most efficient in transferring line input to performance with the least lost to boat-length robbing friction ever—so far. V. As in victory.

PHRF Committee 2020
If you have a custom or modified sailboat, your boat may need to have its rating reviewed and assigned by the local volunteer PHRF committee. With your boat’s measurements, the committee will provide a fair rating so you can quickly join the Bay Area racing scene. From evening beer can racing to offshore regattas to just about every other keelboat race on the Bay. A PHRF rating will make it easy to sign up for evening beer can races, offshore regattas, and just about every other keelboat race on the Bay, and start sharpening your skills on the race course. You can fill out the rating form on page 67 with help from detailed instructions provided on page 66-72. The YRA also wants to thank the committee members below for their tireless efforts in supporting fun, fair racing on San Francisco Bay.

Rules Latitude 38’s Basic Racing Guidelines Since sailboat racing is a recreational sport, we think the number one rule should be to have fun. Beyond that, some basic guidelines help prevent collisions and ensure that racing is both fun and fair. Below is an outline of the 10 basic rules that cover most racing situations. For completeness and total accuracy, refer to Racing Rules of Sailing 2017-2020, published by US Sailing. See www.ussailing.org/rules for details.
1. Port tack keep clear of starboard tack. 2. If boats are on the same tack and overlapped, the windward boat must keep clear of the boat to leeward. 3. If boats are on the same tack, a boat clear astern must keep clear of a boat clear ahead. 4. When tacking or jibing, keep clear of boats on a tack. 5. Avoid collisions. If you have the right of way and hit the other boat, causing damage or injury, you will both be penalized. 6. Don’t obstruct. Don’t make it hard for the ‘keep clear’ boat to do so. (No hunting allowed.) 7. Sail the course prescribed. You have to round the marks in the directions specified in the Sailing Instructions and can’t touch a mark.

8. Proper Course (same tack, within two hull lengths). If the leeward boat came from astern, leeward boat shall not sail above its own proper course during the overlap. (Remember that the windward boat still has to keep clear, even if windward is forced above what it believes is windward’s proper course. Leeward still has right of way.) 9. Give room at marks and obstructions to yachts overlapped on the inside, except: a. When the overlap did not exist before the lead boat reaches the three-boatlength zone. b. When approaching a windward mark on opposite tack. c. At a starting mark surrounded by navigable water. That is, you don’t have to let a barger in at the start except to avoid collision (then protest). 10. Acknowledge your fouls and protest those who don’t. A free rule book comes with US Sailing membership. See www.ussailing.org.

CHRIS BOOME INSURANCE AGENCY
650-464-0728
MARINE INSURANCE SPECIALIST
Here's what our customers have to say: “Chris has precisely the qualities that a boat owner should be looking for in an insurance agent…. Stuff happens with boats, and when it did for us, Chris was right there to make sure it turned out well.” – Tim Knowles, Wyliecat 39 Lilith, San Francisco Bay "I have been dealing with Chris Boome for many years and 25,000 miles of coastal and ocean sailing. The service that Chris delivers allows me to sail with confidence knowing that I am fully covered wherever my sailing adventures take me.“ – Rob Andrews, Swan 53 Mistress, Pacific Northwest
BOOMER'S TIDE TIDBITS AND MORE Laylines: Upwind in a strong ebb current, make sure you tack much earlier than normal for the mark. A lot of the fleet will over stand and you will gain. In a strong flood current, if you think you will just make the mark... you won't! For more tips go to www.chrisboome.com and click on Boomer's Tide Tidbits And More "Chris Boome goes above and beyond… When we incurred some serious damage Chris was right by my side working with boat yards, surveyors and the insurance company claims department." – Rick Egan, I36 Kapai, San Francisco Bay “…I have learned that if you are in a hurricane, have Chris Boome as your insurance agent.” – John & Sharon Warren, Passport 47, Warren Peace, MX "We have been using Chris Boome for insurance on Golden Moon for 18 years. Chris is knowledgeable and fair, and responds promptly to our needs. He is an expert sailor and brings great knowledge to all discussions on sailing. I recommend him whole heartedly.” – Kame Richards, Express 37 Golden Moon, San Francisco Bay

June 19, 20, 21, 2020
Looking for a new way to entertain your kids this year? Look no further than the Bay Area’s dozens of junior sailing programs. Many offer scholarships, and, with rare exceptions, you don’t need to have your own boat. Unless noted below, club membership is not necessary. High school sailing for students in grades 9-12 takes place around Northern California in the Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing Association. If your high school doesn’t have a team – or enough students to field a team – don’t fret. Most programs allow students from several schools to form a single team.

San Francisco Bay These current charts show direction and speed of the tidal current for each hour of current at the San Francisco Bay entrance. The charts depict the flow of tidal currents under normal weather conditions. Strong winds and freshets, however, bring about non-tidal currents which may modify considerably the speeds and directions shown in the charts. USE OF CHARTS The chart to be used for any specific time is determined by obtaining the difference between the desired time and the time of the nearest Maximum Flood or Maximum Ebb for the Golden Gate. The chart with the title that agrees most nearly with this difference is the one to be used. The numbers before or after the arrows indicate the 'tropic speed' of the current in knots. To determine the actual speed of the current for a particular day and hour, this tropic speed is multiplied by the factor given in the table to the right, 'Factors for Correcting Speeds'. To find the correct 'predicted speed' as listed in the table, see 'Weekend Currents' on pages 54 and 55. The charts on this page and those that follow are from the National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Women’s Circuit
Joan Byrne: 2019 Queen of the Women’s Circuit.
During the Yacht Racing Association awards party at BYC in November, Latitude 38 crowned a new Queen of the Unofficial Women’s Circuit. In 2019, Joan Byrne sailed her Olson 911S in IYC’s Sadie Hawkins Race in March and SBYC’s Red Bra Regatta in October. Joani and her co-chair Winnie Kelley put in countless hours to make the all-female Red Bra Regatta a success, with 20 boats racing. She loaned Heart of Gold to her regular crewmember, Collette Meyers so that Collette could skipper in the Amazing Grace Cheney Cup hosted by RYC in November. “Joani has been instrumental in enhancing my racing experience and helping me build my network in the Bay Area sailing community,” said Collette. “I often refer to her as my sailing mom. She has challenged and encouraged me both on and off the water.” In April, Joani served on the Women and Sailing Panel at the Pacific Boat Show, talking about what women want on the water, sharing her experiences, reassuring women that it’s okay to want different outcomes from boating, and offering various ways to get involved. “She does much more than just being out on the water racing,” wrote Patti Mangan of SBYC in her nomination letter. “Joani’s mission is to empower women on the water and get them involved in racing.”

Help for getting your boat’s PHRF rating To race against the wide variety of other boats on the Bay it is necessary for your boat to have a Northern California PHRF rating. If you have a well-known sailboat such as a Ranger 23, Cal 39, Islander 36, Alerion 28, etc., it’s likely the YRA already has a base rating number on file for your boat type. However, many boats have been modified, are custom designed and built or have different sail configurations affecting their speed. For this reason boat measurements must be submitted to the YRA in order to get a rating certificate. An NCPHRF Application is available on page 67 and online at www.yra.org. Boats are selfmeasured; no need to have a professional measurer out to your boat. To guide you through the application, the YRA has put together detailed instructions that cover each field on our rating application. For unmodified class boats, common measurements for items such as I, J, P and E, as well as ballast and displacement, can be found online, in sales brochures, in class rules, or from your sailmaker. However, if you have a modified or non-class boat, or cannot find all the required information for your boat, Part III of our Rules & Guidelines will help walk you through how to take the required measurements. You can find our Rules & Guidelines here: http://www.yra.org/PHRF/docs/ ncphrf_rules_and_guidelines.pdf. If you have a current or expired certificate and need to make changes to your boat’s configuration, please contact the YRA office to discuss your changes and what forms may be necessary. For other questions, please contact the YRA office at (415) 771-9500 or via email at info@yra.org.

You and your competitors expect this form to be accurate and that the reported characteristics will be maintained while racing. Failure to advise the NCPHRF Committee in writing of ANY modification to your boat which will alter its sailing performance may be grounds for protest and disqualification of the yacht.

PHRF Rules & Guidelines I. Definition
The Northern California Performance Handicap Racing Fleet Committee (NCPHRF Committee) is a Standing Committee of the Yacht Racing Association (YRA) of San Francisco Bay. Its sole function is to determine the performance potential of yachts in racing applications and provide a handicap value in an attempt to equalize the chances of winning across a broad spectrum of competitors. This handicap value (rating) will be provided to a yacht that applies for a rating and meets the criteria listed in Section II.
II. Criteria
Vessels applying for a rating shall meet the following minimum criteria: 1. The vessel shall have a single hull (Monohull type). 2. The vessel shall have a minimum, fixed, external ballast weight of 400 pounds. a. An exception to this rule is granted to vessels with ratings assigned prior to 1998. 3. The vessel shall have a minimum canoe body length of 19 feet. The committee may decline to provide a rating
for any vessel it considers unable to fairly evaluate. For new and unfamiliar vessels, a provisional rating may be provided by the committee, and subject to re-evaluation at the committee’s discretion after a period of observation.
III. Application
Ratings will be provided as described above to yachts that apply for a rating. The primary application form can be found in the appendix of these Rules and Guidelines and on the Northern California Yacht Racing Association website. Definitions, descriptions and guidance on filling an application can be found further in these Rules and Guidelines. 1. It is the policy of the NCPHRF Committee that all documentation must be submitted to the YRA office prior to issuance of a rating. No ratings will be given in conversation or without all appropriate documentation being provided to the entire Committee. 2. Documentation is to include the following: a. A completed PHRF application form at a minimum b. ORR, IRC or any other previous rating certificates and documents, if any
PHRF ratings allow boats of all shapes, sizes and designs to compete on an equal basis. Get your boat’s rating from the YRA and join the local racing scene. Page 68 •

IV. RATINGS
The Committee will assign ratings based on the following essential assumptions: 1. The racing will take place primarily on and around the central San Francisco Bay. 2. The wind velocities will be an approximate median of the lesser winter wind speeds and the higher summer wind speeds. 3. The ratings reflect the prevalent use of traditional windward/leeward courses with a minimum of reaching legs or random leg courses. 4. The yacht is in optimum racing trim and all normal equipment is on board 5. The hull bottom is fair and clean 6. The sails are in good condition 7. The propeller folds/feathers or the yacht has an outboard that can be raised clear of the water 8. The yacht is expected to be competently sailed 9. The yacht is not modified beyond the expectations of the committee at the time the rating was issued. The yacht shall not be “stripped out”. For example, all of the drawers, doors, systems and interior at the time of the rating shall remain in place. If the vessel is a production boat, all of the standard items expected to be on board are in place. If a certification such as ORR or IRC was supplied with the rating application, all equipment accounted for in those certifications shall remain in place. One exception to this assumption is the removal of cushions. 10. The Committee will evaluate classes that allow different engine installations on a case by case basis. 11. The sails are in conformance with the assumptions below: a. Jib LP is less than 155% of J. For non-conforming production vessels, the Base Rating will be so annotated. b. The midpoint on the headsail leech to the closest point on the luff shall be less than 55% of LP. c. Mainsail girth maximums as described in Part 2 d. Vessel is equipped with a spinnaker e. Spinnaker maximum girths as described in
Part 2 f. Spinnaker maximum luff as described in Part 2 g. All sails conform to maximum IMS sail dimension limitations The ratings shall be established taking specific attributes of the vessel into account. Examples of these include displacement (weight), waterline length, sail area and hull form. Previous ORR, IRC and National PHRF ratings are very useful for evaluation. Also used for evaluation are a vessel’s similarity to other rated vessels, photos, drawings and various design data. The rating is a numerical value, divisible by three, corresponding to seconds per nautical mile. The minimum rating increment is three seconds per nautical mile. The rating’s usage is covered in Section X. RACE RESULTS. A value referred to as a Base Rating will typically be assigned to a vessel. This Base Rating can then be slightly modified based on characteristics particular to that vessel. This is very typical of production vessels. Custom or “on-off” vessels will receive an “as-sailed” or “custom” rating notation. For vessels that, while production, face inherent rating penalties due to design features, the committee reserves the right to apply a “custom” rating at its discretion. It also reserves the right to maintain this rating despite modifications made in an effort to bring the vessel into compliance with the PRHF guidelines.
I. One-Design Ratings
If requested, the Committee may provide OneDesign Ratings (ODR) to classes that have their rules on file in the YRA office. All vessels with ODRs while sailing in YRA or other NCPHRF races are to sail in conformance with their one design class rules within the following modifications: 12. Strict interpretation of limitations to hull, rig and sail dimensions 13. No limitations on: a. Sail material b. Quantity of class legal sails carried aboard while racing c. Who may steer d. Crew weight 14. Where class rules prohibit spinnakers, spinnakers are permitted while racing in NCPHRF in accordance with NCPHRF limitations. Please see Part 2
II. DOWNWIND RATINGS
The PHRF Committee has established Downwind Ratings to better handicap yachts where 67% continued on page 70 2020 YRA Calendar •
Latitude 38
• Page 69
PHRF Rules & Guidelines continued from page 69
or more of the race is normally expected to occur in reaching to running conditions. Typical races in Northern California that should utilize the Downwind Rating are the Delta Ditch Run, the Coastal Cup, the Westpoint Regatta, the Spinnaker Cup, Windjammers, the Jazz Cup and the Saturday of the Great Vallejo Race.
III. ADJUSTMENTS TO BASE RATINGS
15. MAINSAILS a. If MGU exceeds the maximum allowable, a penalty may be assessed. b. If MGM exceeds the maximum allowable, a penalty may be assessed. c. If MGM is less than 50% of E a credit of 3spm is typically issued. d. In-mast furling typically receives a credit of 3 spm 16. JIBS a. A 3spm credit is typically issued if LP of the largest headsail is less than 125% of J. b. A 3spm penalty is typically issued if LP of the largest headsail is between 155% and 170% of J. c. A 6spm penalty is typically issued if LP of the largest headsail is 170% or more of J. d. The committee will evaluate headsails with a midgirth greater than 55% of LP on a boat-byboat basis. e. A 3spm penalty is typically issued for each 10% increase in pole length more than 100% of J. f. A 3spm penalty is typically issued for each 10% increase in spinnaker area more than 100% of area based on I and J. See Part II Calculations. g. ISP greater than I will be assessed on a boatby-boat basis. 17. ASYMMETRIC SPINNAKERS: a. A -3 sec/pm penalty is typically issued for asymmetric spinnaker poles that can articulate the spinnaker tack off of the boat’s centerline. b. In general, the assessment for asymmetric spinnaker area will be the same as for symmetric spinnakers, but the committee will evaluate this on a boat-by-boat basis. c. ISP greater than I will be assessed on a boatby-boat basis. 18. VESSELS CARRYING BOTH ASYMMETRIC AND SYMMETRIC SPINNAKERS: a. There is no inherent penalty for vessels carrying both symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers. Vessels normally rigged to fly symmetric spinnakers opting to fly an asymmetric spinnaker off of the vessel centerline at J may receive a credit. Vessels normally rigged to fly symmetric spinnakers opting to fly an asymmetric Page 70 •
Latitude 38
• 2020 YRA Calendar
spinnaker off of the vessel’s symmetric spinnaker pole will be reviewed on a boat for boat basis and will receive a penalty 19. PROPELLERS a. A 3spm credit will be given for a 2 blade fixed propeller b. A 6spm credit will be given for a 3 blade fixed propeller 20. ITEMS FOR WHICH THERE WILL BE NO CREDIT GIVEN: a. Sail inventories with headsails having an LP less than 125% of J b. Sail inventories lacking a spinnaker c. Excess weight in the form of optional gear and equipment d. Spinnakers with ASF or SSF less than 180% of J 21. ITEMS WHICH WILL BE EVALUATED ON A BOAT FOR BOAT BASIS a. Special rigs with unusual dimensions or features b. Modifications including but not limited to: i. Structural alterations ii. Optional construction or sail materials iii. Ballast iv. Ballast location v. Engine location vi. Keel modification vii. Rudder modification c. Typically there are no penalties for rudder modifications as this is considered to be a positive safety modification more than a performance modification 22. PRODUCTION BOATS WITH NON-CONFORMING MEASUREMENTS When a production boat is supplied with measurements normally evaluated as a penalty, the Committee may, at its discretion, issue an “assailed” rating. Such a rating may or may not be reduced if the spinnaker is cut down to standard dimensions of the previous Section.
IV. SPORT BOATS
The NCPHRF Committee defines a Sport Boat as any boat with a SA_DW/D ratio >=61, a D/WL ratio <=105, carries a sprit and has a LWL <32’.
V. NON-SPINNAKER RATINGS AND VESSELS
Modifications to base ratings: 1. For the purposes of racing in a non-spinnaker fleet, NCPHRF recommends the certificate rating be modified using the following table. Nothing in these rules prevents an organizing authority from using PHRF ratings, or modifying them, in a non-spinnaker event or division.
PHRF Rules & Guidelines Change to rating +6 sec/pm +3 sec/pm -0 sec/pm +3 sec/pm
Use of a roller furling jib tacked to the top of a drum with the entire drum above the deck
2. These modifications are not intended to be used in fleets combining spinnaker and nonspinnaker yachts. Confidence is very low in deriving equitable handicaps for mixed fleets. 3. Sail handling restrictions: a. Only one headsail may be flown at a time b. No headsail larger than the largest listed on the NCPHRF certificate may be used. c. Headsail changes must be done using one headsail halyard at a time (“bald-headed” changes only). d. Whisker pole may be of any length. e. “Cruising spinnakers” and bloopers are spinnakers. 4. Boat Restrictions: a. Some boats are rated as if they carry spinnakers even if they do not. They should therefore be racing in the spinnaker fleets. Examples of

such yachts are: i. Wyliecats ii. Non-Such Cats iii. Cat rigged yachts in general iv. Star Class yachts v. Knarr Class yachts 5. Boats that should not be included in nonspinnaker classes are identified in the NCPHRF Base Rating Report with the notation “No NonSpin” designation
X. Race Results
Races can be scored under two different methods: Time-on-Distance and Time-on-Time. A description of these methods is as follows: 1. Time-on-Distance: d. Multiply the stated course distance in nautical miles by the vessel’s rating. This is the Time Allowance. e. Subtract the Time Allowance from the vessel’s elapsed time around the race course. This is the Correct Finish Time. f. The vessel with the shortest Correct Finish Time is the winner. 2. Time-on-Time: continued on page 72

Equipment Requirements for all In-the-Bay YRA Races These requirements are for races held within San Francisco Bay. Please check with the Organizing Authority for Ocean Races that have separate requirements. 1.1 These Minimum Equipment Requirements establish uniform minimum equipment and training standards for a variety of boats racing in San Francisco Bay under YRA. These regulations do not replace, but rather supplement, the requirements of the US Coast Guard, the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), the rules of Class Associations, and all applicable rating rules. 1.2 The safety of a boat and her crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the “person in charge,” as per RRS 46, who shall ensure that the boat is seaworthy and manned by an experienced crew with sufficient ability and experience to face bad weather. S/he shall be satisfied as to the soundness of hull, spars, rigging, sails and all gear. S/he shall ensure that all safety equipment is at all times properly maintained and safely stowed and that the crew knows where it is kept and how it is to be used. 1.3 A boat may be inspected at any time by an inspector or measurer of the Organizing Authority. If she does not comply with these regulations her entry may be rejected, or will be liable to disqualification, or such other penalty as may be prescribed by the race protest committee. 1.4 All equipment required shall function properly, be regularly checked, cleaned and serviced, and be of a type, size and capacity suitable for the intended use and size of the boat and the size of the crew. This equipment shall be readily accessible while underway and, when not in use, stored in such a way that deterioration is minimized. 1.5 A boat’s heavy items such as batteries, stoves, toolboxes, anchors, chain and internal ballast shall be secured. 2.5.3 A boat shall have a manual bilge pump of at least a 10 GPM capacity. 3.1.3 Each Crewmember shall have a life jacket that is USCG or ISO approved or meets the ocean requirement of 33.7 lbs of buoyancy.

VHF Radio Channel Uses Of all the safety equipment on your boat, your VHF radio is probably the most effective and essential. Because VHF uses common frequencies, it’s important to remember a few rules of marine radio etiquette:
Islander 36 Association Fun Racing, Comfortable Cruising, Great Friends, Active One-Design Fleet.
• Radio checks, which should be performed at least every time you leave your slip, should always be conducted on channel 9, never on channel 16. • Before hailing another station on channel 16, listen for at least one minute before keying your mic, so as not to “step” on radio traffic that’s already underway. • Speak slowly and pause for at least a minute between hailing attempts. • Always start on the “low” power setting.
Spring Meeting, March 19, Golden Gate YC Curious? Visit: www.islander36.org Racer? Fleet Captain Eric Mueller - racing@islander36.org Cruiser? Cruise Captain Bob DaPrato - cruising@islander36.org
• Don’t use the radio if you have non-emergency traffic that can be accomplished with a mobile phone.
