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. Dave S. s/v Clio 1987 S2 27, hull #80 |

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. Rick. --- In s227classassociation@..., "uswa174" <uswa174@...> wrote:

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. Rick --- In s227classassociation@..., "uswa174" <uswa174@...> wrote:

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.
