PHFR? What is that? Penetrating Holistic Radio Frequency?

May as well be for any real-life the old handicap has. Truth be known,
Cut the Mustard is faster over the long haul than most boats in the
30-foot range unless they have folding or feathering props or unless
the voyage is in nothing but heavy air.

Face it, any voyage is a combination of light, heavy and no air. By
virtue of the fact my Coronado 27 has no propeller in the water
whatsoever and has a lovingly faired hull and keel, she is far
faster in lighter air than any heavy, unfaired and propeller-laden
thirty-footer. Admit to yourself that much of the time you sail
you sail in light air.

Take any week at random in the month of September and lay out
a course between Key Largo and George Town in the Bahamas.
Start on a pre-arranged day and time and I will put up my boat's
title against any thirty-foot cruising mono here with the stipulation
that motors cannot be used and I will own that thirty-footer.

Any takers?

If you ever got a chance to sail a nice, fast and manageable boat
such as my fine, blue water Coronado 27 that has an excellent
turn of speed

What was that boat's PHRF again, Neil?
