IMHO the C 33 3/4 Ton Special - and maybe the "ordinary" 33 - are good boats for PHRF. We raced against one for years and probably beat them over the line 50% of the time. They rated something like 144 to our 120, so actually beating them on corrected time was quite hard to do. The boats seemed

I would go back to a C 39, tall rig, deep rudder and the light weight Atomic 4 aux engine. Prep it to be fully optimized for its PNW PHRF rating but include a “penalty pole” and blooper for those long DDW legs. I would also want the upgraded winch package that included the Barient titanium drum

I agree on “so many variables.” Prevailing conditions may be most important. If it’s blowing 20+, I beat the fleet with my 30 MK I. But where I race, that kind of wind only happens a couple times per season. I didn’t set out to buy and rig the optimal boat to win club races at my local

Very good points, Ron. What's the budget? That could rule out any Tartan built C My 34R is tricked out with many upgrades to make her better for shorthanded or solo racing on distance races on Chesapeake Bay. Just added a Selden sprit for her two assyms. I installed a carbon tube through

Dennis, You are close with the boat you own.  Found the 35 mk1 hard to beat.  My boat 35 Mk2 (47 years old) does sail close to her PHRF rating.  Unless we really screw up tactically, (going to wrong side of the course, etc) she finishes in the the top 5-10% of the class. Family sailed boat
