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!!

Subject: PHRF Rating - what is yours
Info: (24130 views) Posted: Thursday 9-6-12 06:39:33 PM

In Lake Ontario PHRF, the 186 is without a spinnaker. Otherwise 168 is the standard rating.

We have two-three well sailed J's and they are hard to beat at that rating. I can not imagine a 186 with a spinnaker :)

:: Thanks for the comment, Bob. I was mistaken, the J24
:: that's been beating us is rated 186. I note from a
:: J-Boats site that they say the rating is 171. We'll be
:: looking into this before next year. I'm not sure where
:: the 186 came from. The J at our club is dry sailed which
:: is another factor that give it an advantage over the
:: E27s and S2 7.9s all of which are wet sailed.
::
:: :: I guess you would have trouble beating that J24! LMPHRF
:: :: rates J24s at 168, and a well sailed one can be a weapon
:: :: with that rating. 180 would be a license to steal. For
:: :: comparison, S2 7.9s rate 165 over here.
:: ::
:: :: :: 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.
