And here's the list that reflects average ratings across
the country:

Sorry Booby, just yesterday you were ranting about the
ratings "in your
area" and that ratings for others didn't count.

And before that, he was ranting that PHRF was for sissies.


.... the only 35s5 that races in your area rates
138 with the
fin keel. A Nonsuch 33 races in the same division at 147
(I'm guessing
his rating is because he flies a chute). If you add 3
points for your
wing keel, 3 points for your A/C, and six points for your
small jib, you
rate 3 seconds slower than the Nonsuch!

Does the 35s5 get an allowance for "class sails" I would think not
since that's usually given to one-designs that don't fly 155% genoas.
Of course, you could request such a rating adjustment but it probably
would not fly.

if you consider who's helming the 35s5s5 , it would add 18
minutes.

due to this particular helmsman's proven ability to hit charted rocks?
And don't forget the rating adjustment for the dish antennae and the
trailing power cord.

Actually, the under water shape isn't that bad,



Yeah, just what every sailor wants; a underwater profile that "isn't
that bad."
Case closed!


Nonsuch 36: Not that bad!

Yeah, Not that bad, as in good enough to beat a 35s5!

35s5 - almost as fast as a Nonsuch

It might beat a 35s5, just like my 35s5 might beat a J120.

Uh huh.

Nonsuch: When 8 knots is just too fast!

Especially since, as you claim, its so hard for a 35s5 skipper to sail
up to the 138 rating!


Uh huh.

Jeff, this is yet another one of your lies and I'll prove it.
I said that the 35s5 has trouble sailing to it's rating, which is
typically 114 to 129. I rarely see 132 and once saw 138, but don't
know what was up with those higher number boats. The standard rating
for my boat is 129 and it's tough to hit for many sailors.
In my area, according to the link I provided, the 35s5 was just
dropped from 129 to 126.

It's on the link I gave.

Sorry.

BWAHAHAHA!!! You snap at every lame troll! And the funny thing is,
everything I said is true!

They are the ratings (base and adjusted) for the only 35s5 that races in
your area. Why is this so hard to understand?

I'll give you some help. If they fly a smaller jib (as you often do)
they can get +3 or +6 adjustment. If they carry less than the standard
crew (9 180 pounders) they could get an adjustment. Its pretty easy to
end up with a +9.

As I said, the Nonsuch base ratings are without spinnakers but against
spinnaker rated boats. If the Nonsuch carries a chute, its rating is
adjusted downward. This, BTW, is why NS ratings are so high.

The standard rating
for my boat is 129 and it's tough to hit for many sailors.

I'm sure its very hard for you! But all you're saying is that your real
rating should be much higher, perhaps higher than the Nonsuch!

In my area, according to the link I provided, the 35s5 was just
dropped from 129 to 126.

You mean the 4 year old, random page on a personal site? I links I
provided are the true YRA LIS ratings as of Aug 31, 2007.


Sorry.

Actually rather pathetic.


Nonsuch: The Motorsailor's Sailboat. But still fast enough to beat a benny.
