That's the problem with IMS in a nutshell. The rule has changed dramatically from its inception, and you gotta have a new boat to be competitive. In an effort to create a more competitive sailing event, Newport Harbor Yacht club has invited PHRF with a rating between 30 and 100 to participate in the 1999 Ahmanson Cup and Skylark Trophy Regatta. Adding PHRF will further enhance the already large following of Schock 35s, Melges 24s and J boats that compete in the regatta each year. With the number of competitors expected to double, regatta organizers and race officials are taking special measures to ensure that every class has a fair, fun and competitive regatta.
