Fleets in the 2001 RTIA Series will be established as follows:

RTIA / PHRF Fleet
Racing Yachts carrying full sails and spinnakers.
Skippers of RTIA / PHRF yachts shall provide evidence of rating as issued by a sanctioned PHRF organization. Ratings may be adjusted to conform with those issued by PHRF of Southeast Florida. Classes within this fleet may be established for heavy and light dis-placement yachts, as well as one design classes with five or more yachts entered for the series.

CRUISING BOAT FLEET
Traditionally called "Mothers Tub" Fleet
This fleet is for heavy displacement yachts sailing in full cruising configuration, with NO SPINNAKERS or other specialty sails. Classes within this fleet will be established by the Race Committee. "Mothers Tub" yachts will be assigned an initial rating as can be best determined by the Race Committee. A yacht's rating may be adjusted from race to race in an effort to afford all "Mothers Tub" yachts an equal opportunity to win.

MULTI-HULL FLEET
Racing and Cruising multihulls.
Ratings for multihull yachts will be assigned by the Race Committee based on MASF time on time handicap allowances. One design multihull classes may be established if five or more one design multihull yachts enter the entire series.
