I have been given a PHRF rating of 189 for my 1985 28.5. How about the rest of you racers, what is your rating? I have the lowest rating in the whole fleet. Hanked on headsails, 2 blade fixed prop, fin keel,no whisker pole (I bought one this morning, no more downwind nightmares). I am just curious. Thanks Scott

Just checked the sites listed in the archives. A 28.5 has a 183. You may wish to keep the one you got from your fleet.

Region
I believe ratings are regional, taking into account your boats performance in certain conditions. A Hunter 30 in a moderate to windy area would get a lower rating then the same boat in a light air area. I could be wrong but this is how it was explained to me. I'm waiting for my official rating now (old Hunter 30) but I expect in MA it will be close to 200. - I'll take it and pray for some heavy wind. Good Luck to everyone this season. Joe M.

regions vary
I have had the boat rated in three regions (28.5). Chesapeake 189, Lake Erie was something like 203 and here in RI I a up to 220. All these are J.A.M. ratings. In each region there were other boats that stayed close with the ratings. Catalina 30's an J24's. In RI they give credit for a lot more things then other areas. roller furling 3 secs, fixed prop, 6 secs, shoal draft 6 secs. ect. I have tried to do some things different this yer and hopeo see a difference. Mostly a more experienced crew. Looking forward to swaping stories. Our first race is the 22nd.

Mine rates at 189. The base rating is 183 and I get a 6 sec. credit for the roller furler. I have a folding prop and a 155% genoa. The other replies are correct, the rating varies by area.

H280 gets 228
I was given a 228 for a H280, located on Long Island South Bay. This is with no spinn, 110 Head, fixed two blade prop. Adding a as-spinn this year expect a 6 sec hit on the rating. good luck

response to 28.5 phrf rating
THE CLUBS I RACE WITH AND AGAINST ON THE ALBEMARLE SOUND TRIED TO LOWER MY RATING TO A 183 THIS YEAR, FROM 189 LAST YEAR. I MANAGED TO CONVINCE THEM TO LEAVE IT AT 189. MINE IS A SHOAL DRAFT, WITH A FOLDING PROP, AND 150 HEAD SAIL WITH ROLLER FURLING. YOUR RATING SOUNDS A LITTLE LOW. I FEEL LIKE THESE HUNTER BOATS ALL HAVE LOW RATINGS. THEY SHOULD BE AROUND 200. I ALSO HAVE THE LOWEST RATING IN MY CLASS AND HAVE A HARD TIME POINTING WITH THE OTHER BOATS. ANY ADVISE ON HELPING IT TO POINT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. KEITH
