:: Just sayin'...

Outside of San Francisco where the winds are lighter E27 PHRF ratings are considerably higher. We do pretty well in Detroit compared to most other boats with our 138 PHRF rating. I don't know what the rating would be in South Carolina, but I suspect it would be higher than in San Francisco.
