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!!

:: PHRF Northwest gives the base rating for the Express 27
:: as 152. This could change by the set-up of the boat. It
:: is best to get your boat and sails measured and a
:: certificate of rating from your PHRF district.

PHRF being what it is the key is what do they rate compared to what. The PHRF Lake Erie Rating is 135. A J-30 is 144 and a Santana 35 is 126. 135 is competative in club racing or in light air regattas but tough in heavy air windward-leward regattas. As an example we won a light air race (80% upwind) in Cleveland race week (95 boats) overall and had a better ET than half the Mumm 30s. The next day in 18-22Kts windward-lewards we could'nt hold the 9 second deltas versus the J-30s and Santana 35.

The morale is if your within 3 seconds of the J 30 rating don't complain to much. A 9 second delta is tough when you average out the total range of conditions.
