Sunset is around 8:30pm right now. A short race is 1hr long. It takes me
appx 1hr to set up a course. Therefore, if the R/C is unable to leave the
dock in steady wind at around 6:30pm, then I will cancel.
Future predictions are still unclear, but suggest that the storms will be
over between 6 and 7pm, with winds solid from the South. So, it’s a waiting
game until we know more.

Determining accurate Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) ratings for sailboats is challenging. PHRF ratings vary based not only on the type of boat, but also configurations (boat modifications, sails, propellers, and others) and region (wind and water conditions). Averaging handicap data from multiple sources to determine PHRF ratings may result in flawed estimates of boat speed potential.
In an effort to minimize bias while enabling competitive and fair racing, the St Croix Sailing Club board has agreed that all boats participating in SCSC events will be required to obtain a current PHRF certificate from the Midwest PHRF (MWPHRF). MWPHRF is a non-profit service corporation headquartered in Wisconsin. Their fundamental service is to assign performance handicaps to offshore monohull and multihull sailboats that compete in casual and championship racing, with minimal expense to boat owners. These certificates through MWPHRF will be up to date, maintained regularly, and are specific to our boats and our region of sailing.
Should a boat owner not obtain a MWPHRF certificate, then a PHRF rating will be assigned by the SCSC board. This PHRF rating will be less favorable than MWPHRF and will not be contestable. The SCSC-assigned rating will remain in place until the boat obtains a current MWPHRF certificate.
The cost with MWPHRF is $30 prior to April 1 and $50 thereafter.
To register with MWPHRF: Send an email to mwphrf@mwphrf.org containing your name, email address, and the last four digits of your cell phone number. They will send you login information.
You will be required to measure your sails as shown in this guide: https://www.mwphrf.org/LMPHRFdocs/Measurement_Procedures.pdf

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Crew Swap Regatta! This event is a fun way to increase involvement for new club members and for everyone to try something new, whether it’s crewing on a different boat or trying a different position on their regular boat. All boats and crew members should register using the form below. Saturday morning, the organizers will randomly assign crew to boats. Anyone (including friends and non-members) are welcome to join us for this event.
To keep the event safe, skippers and one experienced crew member should remain on board their own boats, though they are still encouraged to swap to a different position.
Any boats that prefer keeping their standard crew should still attend—just swap the crew around on the boat! Is there someone who’d like to have a shot at helming a race? Been a while since the skipper was on the foredeck or did any trimming? Now’s the time.
