Official Race Results for the 2017 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race have not yet been posted due to the fact that 3 boats are still racing.
One point that may need a little clearing up is, who won between Rage & Kinetic V?
According to my sources at the finish line, Kinetic V eked out a 15 second victory - boat for boat - over Rage. That makes Kinetic V officially the first boat to finish the race.
Rage however, has a PHRF rating for this race of -63. Kinetic V's PHRF rating is -84.
That means that, for each mile of the race, Kinetic V must "give time" to Rage at an allowance of 21 seconds for every mile of the course, so even if it had been just a one mile course, Rage still would have won on "corrected" or (outdated term) "handicapped" time.
So, that means that Rage actually "saved her time", or won (on corrected time ) the PHRF A1 Class easily, given their time allowance.
Hey, a win's a win! Both boats & crews deserve credit for a great close race and one heckuva exciting finish! Congratulations to Kinetic V AND Rage!
