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.
