THE 2008 MEMBERSHIP AND PHRF APPLICATION IS NOW AVAILABLE!!
For the first time in a number of years we have no major changes in either the Regulations or the website application process. Whew! It should be noted however that we have added time correction factors (TCF’s) to the 2008 PHRF certificates. We did so in an effort to promote ECSA’s new policy of encouraging race organizers to use time-on-time scoring with standard TCF’s, and to have them published on scratch sheets prior to the beginning of each race. This will allow competitors to calculate their relative positions during the race.
As always we ask that you consider a donation to our Grant Fund when you apply. Click Here to join!

The safety rules are as important as the racing rules! The ECSA reminds you to stay current with the documents that regulate our racing. Besides knowing the rule book, we urge you to keep up with changes that have been made in the ISAF Offshore Special Regulations. The latest revisions, by category, can be found at: http://www.sailing.org/specialregulations.php
ECSA is committed to promoting sailboat racing and one of our methods is the ECSA Grant Fund. It is designed to provide financial help to serious racers who are mounting a regional, national or international campaign. Over $3000 was donated this past winter and there is more to come. If you are mounting a serious racing campaign, send the ECSA Board of Directors a letter explaining your campaign, plans and expenses. The Board meets monthly to decide which requests merit consideration. You can help by donating to the Grant Fund when you become a member. You can do it on line.
