And yes, Ding, I hate PHRF too... But I do enjoy sitting with the tiller in one hand, a sandwich in the other and telling people what to do while going (slowly) in circles without getting soaked (Timbo makes a good spray protector FYI).
Brother just because I hate PHRF doesn't mean I don't do it! There have been many races were i've been the designated rail meet and I've enjoyed myself thoroughly. Not having to be responsible for fixing the bad decisions of the skipper allows me to enjoy the ride and wave at the pretty girls on the other boats. Riding the rail is a great way to catch up on email, txt you're friends and harass people on social media. Just wish my skipper would buy proper sandwiches and decent beer.
