You vs. Them, On the Fly


Under PHRF time-on-time handicapping, calculating actual corrected times is a complicated process, but you don't have to make the formal calculations to estimate how you did in a race.


Estimate finish place

It's easy to estimate your finish place relative to other boats with a simple time converter. Look up your finish time, then add or subtract the time correction from the converter to find other boats' "break even" times. (A boat's "break even" time is the raw finish time at which she ties you in corrected time.) For a more detailed description of how to work with the seconds-per-hour correction, see the You vs. Them page.

Create custom converter

Create a custom converter for your boat vs. the rest of the fleet. The work is already done for the GMSC keelboat fleets. A separate generic form that allows you to customize the converter completely for any fleet with whatever PHRF ratings follows the GMSC fleets below. Note that the converter is set up for a specific boat; each boat needs its own converter.

The converter will open in a new window. You can print that window, or copy its contents and paste into a spreadsheet or a word processor to format it to your taste.
