CREW WEIGHT SUGGESTIONS

Optional Weight Limits

PHRF-NB has adopted the same Crew Weight philosophy as PHRF -NE. 

There is no Crew Weight associated with a PHRF-NB rating.  PHRF-NB offers race organizers the option of using crew weight limits in their races. Usually only the more significant regattas would use these limits. To be used, the Sailing Instructions must contain these limits.

They are based on 180 pounds per person of a crew that would normally fit on a boat of a certain length.
