RTIA / PHRF Fleet

Skippers of RTIA / PHRF yachts shall provide evidence of rating
as issued by a sanctioned PHRF organization. Ratings may be adjusted
to conform with those issued by PHRF of Southeast Florida. Classes
within this fleet may be established for heavy and light displacement
yachts, as well as one design classes with five or more yachts
entered for the series.
CRUISING BOAT
FLEET
Traditionally called "Mothers Tub" Fleet
This fleet is for heavy displacement yachts sailing in full cruising
configuration, with NO SPINNAKERS or other specialty sails. Classes
within this fleet will be established by the Race Committee.
"Mothers Tub" yachts will be assigned an initial rating
as can be best determined by the Race Committee. A yacht's rating
may be adjusted from race to race in an effort to afford all
"Mothers Tub" yachts an equal opportunity to win.
MULTI-HULL FLEET
Racing and Cruising multihulls.
Ratings for multihull yachts will be assigned by the Race Committee
based on MASF time on time handicap allowances. One design multihull
classes may be established if five or more one design multihull

The event has
become an annual ritual for many sailboats ranging from sleek
racing machines to comfy cruisers who have come from as far away
as South Africa and as close as South Florida; not just to enjoy
the races, but to enjoy Abacos' tranquil waters, the best parties
of the year and the hospitable Abaconians who create the atmosphere
that Regatta Time in Abaco is famous for.
For 2004 Regatta
Time in Abaco is all set for another year of great racing, fun
par-ties and other social events, so mark your calendars and
join the 29th Annual Regatta Time in Abaco this July.
