#sailing #PHRF #sailboatracing #CaptainQ #BoatFools #racingstories #sailboatlife Old Sailing Rivals Talk Smack Two old racing rivals. One rating system. Plenty of trash talk. ⚓😄 In this short, Captain Alan “Captain Q” Kew and Tristram Coburn revisit the good old days—when starting lines were crowded, egos were fragile, and PHRF ratings decided who really won the race. If you’ve ever wondered what PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) means, or why sailors argue about it decades later, this one’s for you. Using the Intrepid 40 as the spark, we break down how PHRF works—seconds per mile, rating differences, and why two boats (and two skippers) can finish together but never agree on the result. This is accidentally educational sailing content: part nostalgia, part explanation, and part friendly (mostly) rivalry. Whether you’re a cruiser, racer, or just here for the banter, welcome to BoatFools Sailing. 👉 Subscribe for real-world sailboat reviews, racing stories, and honest boat-buying advice—no yacht-broker fluff.

If you are looking for exceptional cruising comfort with maximum cabin & cockpit space, look no further than the Hunter brand. These boats are so popular and highly sought after as the design is always incredibly spacious for the LOA. Finished in beautiful wood work, the interior is bright and airy thanks to 9 opening hatches and 7 opening ports to keep the cabin space well ventilated. “Ellipsis” has a 2 cabin layout with the master aft cabin extending across the full beam of the boat. The forward cabin has its own vanity and sink and the large enclosed head offers a separate shower stall. The galley is well laid out with a large fridge, separate freezer, 3 burner stove with oven and microwave. Topsides the deck stepped fractional rig with a furling Main and Genoa makes sailing a breeze whether single handed or fully crewed. With a new bimini and new GPS matched with Raymarine electronics, this vessel comes complete with assumable moorage and a Zodiac dinghy with Honda outboard to complete the package. Currently off-site and available to view by appointment only. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.
