:: PHRF Northwest gives the base rating for the Express 27

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.
