Kevin, Were you able to (or choose to) sail while headed up WA coast? Wind is generally out of the north. Also how far off the coast did you go and any issues with crab pots? Recommendation that we got was to follow the 50 fathom line. But still saw pot floats. Congrats on your voyage. Dave

As i know the C 30 MKI your phrf at 180 is fair. Don’t know about the other boats you typically race against but 180 is good and especially if it includes spin and folding prop. Max headsail use LP150 for this but in light air the boat can easily handle a 160/170 probably with a corresponding

FWIW, stating what I learned. The PHRF is a rating based on projected boat speeds in multiple wind speeds on every angle of the wind. They use one number for a typical boat in all wind and sea conditions. This works OK for triangle races which provide upwind, reaching, downwind legs and if a

Different PHRF organizations in different parts of the country assign ratings based on performance (the P in PHRF). If the boat does better in heavy weather, for example, its racing results will be better in regions where there is more wind (and thus a lower base rating). If it’s a light air

Hi Randy When comparing boats across different areas make sure you look at other boats in those areas as well. Pacific NW tends to rate most of their fleet 9 – 12 sec/mile slower than most other areas … not just the C 30. Also look at the prevailing wind conditions in the areas. Northern
