[Alberg30] Lake Ont. PHRF

[Larry Morris]

It is easy for you to say that one design is the only way to go, because in
Annapolis there is a choice.  It did not sound to me like they have a Alberg
30 one design class in the northern great lakes.

I say get out their and bash it around with your local fleet and have some
fun.  Chances are they have an established rating for the local racing
conditions.

Each PHRF fleet bases it's handicapping on previous performance of similar
boats-there will be differences (geographically) in fleets depending on the
skill level of particular boats that have raced PHRF. I raced Checkmate on
WED.
night @ ST. Michaels my rating was 218; my closest competition was a Triton
with a rating of 228-a difficult obstacle to surmount.

My theory is Albergs that have raced one design (with each other) move up a
learning curve far quicker than any other form of racing-you immediately see
what works and what doesn't. The Annapolis group benefited bunches, so the
Annapolis PHRF fleets therefore have lower ratings(i.e. lower rating
numbers)
for Albergs.

The lesson here is; if some part of your mentality sees racing as a device
to
learn to sail more efficiently, sail one design. Everything else is doo-doo.
