Hi Paul, Your phrf will be determined by the local phrf committee You just need to know about your rig and keel. As mentioned by others the 34+, 34/36 R, WK, XL are a different design boat.
Here's what you need to know: How deep is your keel DK stands for deep keel, usually about 6.5 - 7.0 feet, Is it a centerboard (CB) keel? Usually the CB keel or if you have a "shoal" shallower version with a bulb or wing you will get points back How is your headsail rigged? Is it on a furler? - You will typically get points back for a furler What is the max size head sail you will be using? Typically a 135% or 150% Headsail. the % is proportional to your "J" measurement. 100% is the same as the "J" and so on. Typically you'll get points back if the largest headsail you use is less than 140% Was there a TM or tall mast version of your boat? Sometimes the "I" "E", or "P" measurements can vary, the smaller ones get points back Are you using a folding or feathering prop? 2 blades or 3 blades? 3 blades fixed will get you points back Any structural or weight saving modifications done to the boat? Spinnaker: Standard, oversize, or Asym? Standard Spin typically has a max girth that is 180% of J As for the ratings across other regions, that will give you an idea and will help guide your phrf committee if they aren't familiar with the boat.. A national average for your boat is a good place to start.. This is where you get the US Sailing phrfs for all boats across the US and Canada: http://www.ussailing.org/wp-content/uploads/DARoot/Offshore/PHRF/2014%20PHRF%20Handicaps%20Data.pdf Good luck with it.

There are 10 models listed and I don't have a clue where mine fits in all of this. Would I use the Lake Ontario rating or the Manufacturers rating...or, do I look totally elsewhere? 34 FOOT 34 FOOT CB 34 FOOT + DK 34 FOOT + WK 34 FOOT R 34 FOOT XL 34/36 FOOT 34/36 FOOT R 34/36 FOOT XL 34/36 FOOT WK Paul Hood '82 C&C34 Georgian Bay, ON
