No, you're the person trying to prove your boat speed by using PHRF ratings. I just point
out that your new boat and your old boat are racing in your area with the same handicap.

Further, two Nonsuch 30's, generally considered light air dogs, and not very good for
round the buoy racing, are actually racing with a much lower handicap than your boat does.

And even the Nordica 30 isn't that far off.

All you've done is showed that your boat might not be as fast as you keep claiming it is.

And you'd race even with your old P30.

So, Jeff...you think a Pearson 30 is faster than a C&C 32???

Oh, so then you agree with me. Thanks.

I haven't agreed with anything. You just seem to think PHRF is an absolute speed rating.
However, your local race committee rates their C&C 32's particularly slow - slower than
most other boats over 30 feet. Slower than every Benneteau over 28.5 feet. Slower than
most of the C&C 27's. Slower than a Cat-30 with the tall rig, and all larger Catalina's.
Slower than every Hunter over 30 feet. Slower than all the Nonsuch's. Slower than the
Pearson's and Rangers over 30 feet. Slower than Sabres down to 30 feet. Slower than
almost every Tartan down to 30 feet. And its hardly worth mentioning that you're slower
than every J, X, Mumm, Soverel, Express, etc.

So what boat is slower than a C&C 32? A number of boats 30 feet and less will be a few
seconds slower. And there are a few isolated boats that got special handicaps because of
a very limited sail inventory, etc.

But it looks like the C&C 32 is virtually the slowest boat over 30 feet in Long Island
Sound.

But he said he did 11kts! Aparently the matrix is not LIS.
