Five letters Bob: PHRF C

Know what the "C" means?


I don't think the Boobster knows what PHRF is. He clearly
has no concept of handicap racing since he keeps referring
to "boat-for-boat." Maybe he thinks it's just a generic
macho phrase?

Has anyone else noticed that almost every 35s5 victory that RB cites is
actually the same boat and skipper.

Never cared enough to notice, frankly. The guy who owned the
Beneteau 35s5 in our marina took very good care of the boat,
and is a good sailor, but wasn't interested in racing. They
have a Jeanneau now and say it's a much better boat in every
way.



BTW, are you claiming that the best racers prefer the 4 foot wheel?


Most racers that have a lick of sense prefer a tiller,
unless they're yuppy J-105 drivers.

PS for DSK: I'm on a mooring next to a Herreshoff S-Boat. Pics to follow.


Cool! Looking forward to the pics, I like Hadley's Harbor...
is the fleet of gaff rigged H-12s still there? I bet it's
crowded this time of year.
