Anybody race in an H146?

We're in need of a Portsmouth Number for a Hunter 146, as one is entered in this weekend's Independence Regatta.

Has anyone been assigned one for local races? (I've already corresponded with USSailing's Portsmouth Number Committee Chairman, and they don't have any reported data.)

If no one has been assigned one, can anyone tell me if a calculated D-PN of 94 sound about right?

Thanks in advance.

Your local PHRF handicapper will be able to calculate a number for you. You will have to give him/her the specs for your boat. A D-PN of 94 converts roughly to PHRF of 234. That sounds like a low number for a 146. How did you arrive at it? My guess would have been closer to 100 - 105. As a comparison the Catalina 14.2 rates a 99.4 The Hunter140/JY14 rates 99.
