Class Divisions and Ratings The PHRF "Dual Rating" system of handicapping will apply. Class breakdowns, PHRF A, PHRF B, etc. as determined by the Race Committee will be posted at the Committee boat prior to the first race of the series. If the yacht's rating is changed during the series, the Race Committee must be notified and a copy of the new PHRF certificate must be provided prior to the next race. Failure to do so may result in disqualification for the series. Initial class assignments will not be changed irrespective of rating changes.
History of Race In 1949, Voyagers started the San Clemente Island race for the purpose of getting the larger yachts into overnight racing. The newer lightweight boats with prohibitive time allowances have since diminished the impressive sight of the "Big Ones" booming across the starting line. This race was won by Humphrey Bogart's Santana, in 1950, 51,and 52, thus retiring the Trophy. In 1957, upon Bogart's untimely demise, Lauren Bacall deeded the Cup back to the Voyagers Yacht Club that "Bogey" enjoyed racing and drinking with. This trophy was later to establish the Humphrey Bogart Series that is raced today under the auspices of Voyagers Yacht Club. |
