Monday, July 12, 1999

2. The minutes of the June 14, 1999 meeting were distributed and approved.
3. Members and guests were told that the August, September and October PHRF Board meetings would be held in the Challengers' Room at SWYC.
   

1. San Diego Independent Fleet Committee: The Board met in executive session to discuss the status of Committee's progress to date. No action was taken at this time.
2. SoCal Championship Regatta: Several concerns have been raised about San Diego hosting the 2000 Championship Regatta. After much discussion it was moved that PHRF-SD decline to host this regatta. MSP.
   A copy of Fleet Captain Wayne Coulon's letter to PHRF-SoCal is attached to these minutes
3. Database status.
   Membership Files: These appear to be current. San Diego can generate lists, certificates, renewals, mailing labels.
   Manufacturer Files: These appear to be missing 30-40 boats. Reconciliation is poor. Turnover is not accounted for. Database is not properly organized into relational tables.
   Basically, there is no reliable database support from SoCal. San Diego is very close to being able to support a local independent database.
4. Fleet Rules - Board Tenure: In the current rules, there is no flexibility regarding tenure of club handicappers' appointments. There are various factors that could make such flexibility useful to the continuity to the board and/or its programs. Discussion to revise or amend rules to add flexibility to club handicappers' appointments.. Motion to address this need in the development of the new Fleet Rules. MSP
   

1. Obsession (s/n 46815), Dennis Frost, owner: Request to review CT 41. Previously carried SoCal rating of 204/204. After discussion, a new rating of 204/165 was suggested. MSP
2. Menace XX, (s/n 41463), Dennis Conner, owner:
   By letter, he reported the modification that he had replaced his old boom with a newer, but heavier boom than the original. No need to re-measure the boat. No rating change needed.
   By letter, he requested that he be permitted to sail Menace XX in Class 1 in 1999. No action taken. Postponed to a future meeting. Perhaps include Menace XX with Class 1 review
   

Sport boats: It was noted that too few sport boats are competing to justify a separate starting and scoring class. Representatives from two sport boats requested that they be permitted to compete in Performance Class 2 in future regattas: Nemesis (s/n 46777) MSP

B-Nasty (s/n 46453) MSP

Other sport boats may also wish to compete in a Performance Class. It was moved to pre-approve such requests if those requests were received prior to the August meeting, and that the owners or representatives be present at the August meeting. MSP

Owners will be notified.

A committee consisting of Al Poindexter (Chair), Ken Gust, Dan Harlan, Mike Roach, Chris Guild and Geoff Longencker, was established to review sport boat/class breaks for 2000.

1. Captain:Review of June 1999 SoCal meeting. Nothing additional.
2. Secretary:Website phrfsandiego.org has been updated. Race results, standings, roster and local class rules are available. Thanked competitors for attending South Bay Invitational Regatta, and encouraged all to attend Ladies of the Waterfront Regatta in August.

5. Handicapper:Nothing additional.

1. Need to contact SDYC to confirm their continuing support of PHRF San Diego activities and events.
2. Query re 3 rating system. San Diego has agreed not to implement 3 rating system in 1999. At this time, San Diego has not voted to adopt the 3 rating system. Definitions have been established, but not adopted.

Meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
