PHRF fleets,</span></p><font face="Times New Roman">
</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>There
is an issue with the scoring software is preventing it from automatically recognizing
boats that are racing in more than one fleet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To address this issue any boat that wants to race in more than one fleet
must use the procedure from last year which is listed below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your boat already has ratings for both
fleets on the scratch sheet, you do not need to reapply for a secondary fleet
rating. </span></p><font face="Times New Roman">

secondary fleet by submitting a second PHRF rating form directly to the rating
officer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second form must include
the required additional rating information and must indicate that this will be
their secondary fleet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No additional fee
is required.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please do this as early as
possible in the season as the process can take over a week to complete.</span></p><font face="Times New Roman">
