These are the what the PHRF rating are based on:
The Committee will assign ratings based on the following essential assumptions:
1. The racing will take place primarily on and around the central San Francisco Bay
2. The wind velocities will be an approximate median of the lesser winter wind speeds and the higher summer wind speeds
3. The ratings reflect the prevalent use of traditional windward/leeward courses with a minimum of reaching legs or random leg courses.
4. The yacht is in optimum racing trim and all normal equipment is on board
5. The hull bottom is fair and clean
6. The sails are in good condition
7. The propeller folds/feathers or the yacht has an outboard that can be raised clear of the water
8. The yacht is expected to be competently sailed
