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.

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.

It's on the link I gave.

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.
