 ===== SMS vs. PHS =====
+SMS is ideal for events focused on measuring boats' performance capabilities, while PHS is better suited for casual club racing with diverse boat types and crew skills.
+^ **Aspect** ^ **SMS (Sportsboat Measurement System)** ^ **PHS (Performance Handicap System)** ^
+| Basis of Handicap | Calculated using physical measurements of the boat | Adjusted based on past race performance |
+| Dynamic Adjustments | No, ratings are fixed unless re-measured | Yes, handicaps change after each race |
+| Subjectivity | Objective and based on boat design | Subjective, affected by crew skill and conditions |
+| Ease of Use | Requires detailed measurements and calculations | Simple and requires no measurement |
+| Application | Sportsboat-specific formal competitions | Club-level racing, mixed-fleet casual competition |
+| Fairness | Focuses on boat design and measurements for fairness | Attempts to equalize skill differences |
