Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

Author: Bob Harvey Subject: PHRF Rating - what is yours Info: (19188 views) Posted: Tuesday 9-4-12 04:55:43 AM |
:: Our rating on Lake St. Clair (Detroit) is 138 with one
:: design configuration or 144 with a J-length pole.
:: Originally we got the same rating as San Francisco which
:: was tough in the predominantly moderate winds on Lake
:: St. Clair. Several years ago we spent nearly an entire
:: winter going to PHRF committee meetings and succeeded in
:: getting a 6-second increase. Most of our racing is one
:: design. In PHRF we have trouble beating a well-sailed
:: J-24 which rates 180. We are pretty even with S2 7.9s.
