PHRF of the Chesapeake doesn't have any adjustable credits for anything less
than a 155. Jake wins just about everything in sight when he runs his 35 in
non-spinnaker class.

Jake,
You have added to my quandary! I was talking to a respected Quantum loft who
knows my sailing area well. He is recommending a 144.9% genoa to get the 3
second PHRF credit. I am now concerned I won't get the pointing I need / want.
Is it significantly worse than a 155% on the 35mk III?

Dennis,
My #2 is 142%. It’s darn near a #1. We don’t point well with it, due to
the sheeting angle. It spends most of its time in my garage. It hasn’t been
flown in about 5 years.

I tend to agree with Walt. A very successful racer friend of mine told me
you never change down to a #2, you will always go to the #3. That seems to be
true at least 80% of the time.
I run a 3 sail program but rarely use the #2. I have 155, 125, 95.
However, because wind force increases with the SQUARE of the speed, I really
wish my #2 was bigger, like a 140 or 135. The boat always seems underpowered
with the 125.
