Give boat name and sail number
If you are already registered for Monday night racing we will use your PHRF rating for Monday nights. Otherwise inform the RC whether or not you will be flying your spinnaker(so we use the correct PHRF rating in the scoring)
Also inform the RC if you have a coach on board (helpful to fly green backstay pennant)
