The current PHRFs expire on May 31, 2019, so keelboat owners who intend racing in the upcoming season need to revalidate these certificates now.
It's important you create a log in and our new system on the Yachting New Zealand website and this will pre-populate the revalidation form with your boat's existing PHRF measurements.

There are a couple of additional measurements to the process this year to make the handicapper's job easier.
This season we require the foot length of symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers (SFL and ASF) and we also require the prod length - this should be measured from the front of the mast to the end of the prod. Many are incorrect, so please check yours.
This season Boating New Zealand Magazine are kindly offering PHRF owners a free three-month subscription to their magazine. Details of the offer will be emailed with your certificate.
Any questions, please contact kelly@yachtingnz.org.nz or phone 09 361 1471.
Make sure you are familiar with the PHRF rules for 2019, which can be found here.
