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 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.
