How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your boat's PHRF rating — lower numbers indicate faster boats.
- Input your elapsed (actual) race time in seconds.
- Enter the course distance in nautical miles.
- Read Corrected Time in seconds — this is your handicap-adjusted finishing time for the leaderboard.
- Check Time Allowance (seconds per nm) to understand how much time advantage or disadvantage you give per nautical mile.
- Review Performance vs Par (%) — values below 100% mean you beat the par standard for your rating.
