PHRF Certificates

For all boats that do not have a current PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Factor) Rating, you are encouraged to secure a certificate. The Lake Huron PHRF Association is the designated certifying body. However, if a boat has a current PHRF certification from another certifying association, it will be honored.

The Lake Huron PHRF web site and link is: www.lhphrf.com     

The cost for securing the certificate is 40 USD. The certificate will be renewed for free every year thereafter, as long as no changes have been made to the boat or sails, and the request is made by April 1. IF YOU DO HAVE A CURRENT PHRF CERTIFICATE, INSURE YOU COMPLETE YOUR REQUEST FOR RENEWAL BEFORE APRIL 1 TO WAIVE ANY RENEWAL FEES.
