From our Member Clubs:

A message from the SSS:


The next big race of the year is coming up soon, the SSS Corinthian Race. The race typically has 120 boats sailing around the central bay, with some tactical decisions about Angel Island figuring prominently into the course.


The SSS requires all boats have 2025 PHRF certificates for this race.

If you do not have a 2025 PHRF certificate and want to do the race, order your certificate on or before Wednesday, February 12th to have it in hand by the Corinthian registration cutoff of 2359 Wednesday Feb 19th.

REGISTER HERE!

PHRF Certificates

Need a certificate for an upcoming race? The quickest option is to renew through Jibeset, especially if your boat has been rated before and there are no changes to the boat's standard configuration.


Need an application for a new boat? Fill out the online application HERE

Have changes to your boat's configuration, or a new boat, that needs to go to the PHRF Committee for review?


The next meeting a boat can get on the agenda for will be Tuesday, February 25th. Boat information needs to be received by the YRA office no later than Wednesday February 20th to be reviewed at this meeting.

REGISTER HERE!
