Hey Mr. P,
You'll be pleased to know that a blade won the Performance Midwinters open class last week (I believe).
Randy has been winning the Corsair PHRF trophy on his Farrier for quite a while, so there is a pretty good precedent established. I think it is the right attitude...get more boats on the line- let the OD's race OD and the other boats that can make it in PHRF battles.
I'm pretty psyched to see how it goes...
