Wednesday, July 17

On Wednesday, the faster PHRF 2 and 3 divisions will start. These tend to be the lighter, faster boats in the PHRF fleet. They’ll be followed by the PHRF 4 division, a group of heavy (non-surfing) but performance-oriented boats in the 40-50 foot range. Joining them will be the two Multihull boats. Wednesday will also see the start of six speedy ORR-rated boats.
