I am looking for a PHRF certificate so I can enter a local distance race with monos. I know my H18 has a rating of 99, per the Texel conversion formula, but I am looking for a "certificate" stating the rating. Anyone have ideas where to look, such as hobie-na.org or similar?
PHRF is a locally administered rating system. There is no universal rating for any boat. A certificate would be issued by your local sailing authority, usually a Yacht Club that is running a PHRF based race series.
So you would contact whoever is running the local distance race and ask them to issue a PHRF rating for the Hobie 18, good luck with that!

Thanks Damon. I think I'll talk the organizer into using a Texel-to-PHRF converter, since we multis will be in our own class anyway. The monos are saved once again!
