You know you have truly arrived racing boats under PHRF when you start whining about your rating. Just for fun we re-scored the Round Saltspring race using both time-on-time (TOT) and time-on-distance (TOD) to see what would have happened - here are our conclusions...
- Icon scored 27th overall under TOT and 5th overall under TOD
- The top three finish positions were the same under both scoring methodologies
- Both scoring systems exhibited a strong bias towards faster boats, although TOT was less so.
Here is a graph of the analysis. The X-Axis is the PHRF rating, and the Y-Axis is the corrected elapsed time under TOT and TOD scoring:
