[C38] Handicap rating

[Bill King]

Handicap ratingMike,

I have an 84 shoal draft in SoCal and it has a phrf rating of 123.  Fin keelers rate 114 here.  No adjustments for props or furling gear, it is assumed you have the fastest stuff available.  We do well in long offshore races where the percentage of offwind racing is high.  Newport Ensenada race is one example.  On Windward/Leeward courses we just can't point as high as the fin keelers, as much as 8-10 degrees lower.  The shoal draft keel is actually faster from about 55 degrees to 180.  It just doesn't like going to weather, so we pick our races carefully.

  I have a phrf rating of 123.I also have the shoal draft. The base rating I have is 120 plus I get the extra three seconds for a three bladed prop.
  The previous owner had a rating of 129. I think they gave him 3 sec for shoal draft,3sec for the 3blade prop and 3sec. for roller furling headsail.
  I have tried to get that same rating but so far have had no luck. Our rating chairman is in my class, wonder if that has anything to do with it?
  Hope this helps

    I have the shoal draft version.  What is the handicap rating (no spinnaker)?
