Official PHRF rating for JAM


 

Anyone in the group ever get an official S2 27 PHRF rating for racing in a JAM fleet? Page 4 of the Owner's Manual gives a 174 rating, but I suspect that is for a spinn fleet, and without an inboard engine. The New England PHRF fleet () lists two base ratings:

S2 27 = 180
S2 27 IB (for inboard) = 186

Last summer, my local club assigned me a 206 rating for the two JAM fun races I entered, so I'm just curious how close that rating really is. My boat is the 5'9" deep keel model.

go to ECSA.net it's the site for the eastern Connecticut sailing association - they govern regattas east of Bridgeport, ct.

On left nav bar click phrf lookup and search years 2003-5 for the boat named Esperance - the PO of my boat had a valid phrf cert for spin and non spin.

Hit send button too fast. For JAM 202-208 is about right depending upon genny size, roller furler, prop, et al.

I think I had a 208 rating at my club - I didn't have a Cert, I just showed them the old Cert and told them about my roller furler and smaller genny.

One thing I do notice is this boat does not sail well to it's phrf rating...if you sail in a class with a bunch of poor helmsmen you'll be ok, but in a relatively well sailed phrf fleet the rating does not help. A great phrf killing boat is the C&C 27 MkV.

It rates same as our boats but is several hundred pounds lighter and has a larger SA/D ratio if I recall. I tried to find one to buy a few years ago but yhe MkV is hard to find.

Having posting issues....

Go to ecsa.net and on left nav bar click phrf lookup.

Search in year 2003, 2004, 2005 for a boat named Esperance. It's my boat but was rated under PO. You'll see ratings for spin and non spin.

Uh, d'oh!

...let me try that again. 4'9" fin keel.

My bad.


 

Thanks, Rick. That's a great website, and it verifies that the rating assigned informally to my boat last year is likely about right. Now if I were only a better helmsman, so I could sail the boat to the rating...! Glad that there aren't any C&C 27 MkVs in our local fleet.
