This the first time I have ever seriously perused a list of many PHRF
ratings and Robs boat really isnt that fast compared to some, even if
you consider size it isnt exceptional. It isnt a slug but isnt a
rocket either. My old S2 is about where I would expect compared to
other simialr size racer cruisers of its time, a tad batter than most
but nothing I'd ever notice. I expected the Morgan OI to be so slow as
to not even be on the list but an OI 33 is about 222. Even the
supposedly really good Norsea27 is considered to be slow but it is
really more cruiser. Apparently, there are some really fast boats out
there but I bet they would make lousy cruisers. I am sure all of you
know this but this is the first time I have ever seen an extensive list
of phrf (mostly due to lack of interest).

There are actually some failry fast cruising boats out there.

Tartan 37, for example. If you google it, look for Tartan 37-2. Quality
build, skeg hung rudder, cruiser bits like a pilot berth.
