5 Cla Choice CYCT Racing Program In order to provide racing program that fit nearly all type of racer, from the more eriou to the caual, from the eperienced to the novice, CYCT ha developed the following three Clae for each kipper to elect. For coring purpoe, once you enter a erie in a elected cla, you mut race in that erie in the ame cla. There are other retriction noted below, but if you have any quetion, pleae contact CYCT Race Chairman. 1. PHRF Cla: For thoe who are eperienced racer or thoe looking to challenge themelve.

Thi fleet i for thoe who want to challenge themelve beyond Windeeker, utilize their pinnaker, and get a tate for handicapped racing. Becaue the intent of thi cla i to bring new racer along who will eventually compete in the PHRF Cla, there are a few criteria to meet: a. Either a valid PHRF Certificate OR, upon requet, a CYCT club generated handicap will be acceptable. However, a rating developed by CYCT will not be valid in any other race erie outide of thoe managed by CYCT.

Cot for a PHRF Certificate i $55 for the year. b. Boat entered in thi cla hould be new to the fleet, have raced in the Windeeker Cla the previou year OR, if they have raced in the PHRF Cla the previou year, cannot have finihed 3 place or higher in any erie the previou year. c. Boat in the Challenger Cla may utilize their pinnaker or any other ail configuration for which they have been rated. d. Boat may chooe to rate their boat without a pinnaker and till race in thi handicapped fleet. Once a boat ha a fleet rating, no matter what the configuration, that rating hall remain in effect for the entire erie. e. Unle there are more than (10) boat in the Challenger Cla, there will be only one Diviion in the Challenger Cla.

6 f. Becaue the intent of thi cla i to provide an environment for racer competition level to match their gained eperience, upon review of reult at the end of each year, the CYCT Race Chairman may recommend that a boat advance to the PHRF Cla. g. No boat hall be allowed to remain in the Challenger Cla for more than (2) year / eaon. 3. Windeeker Cla: Where it all tarted many year ago. For thoe jut learning or who want to race in a more relaed fleet. No rating required, the ue of flying ail i prohibited, and where you finih i where you finihed. And even if you cannot make it to the finih line, the committee will go back through the fleet and give you a finih the legendary HOC (Horned on Coure) finih.
