PHRF

[Mike]

I have a Hunter 28.5 that I sail solo on Lake Michigan. Does anyone know what the Americap and/or the PHRF rating is with up to a 155 genoa? Thanks in advance.

PHRF for Hunter 28

Mike --I have a 1989 Hunter 28 sailed in the Pacific Northwest. It got a PHRF rating of ~215 a few years ago. That was based on a 135 genoa, use of pole, and no spinnaker. Your rating will be based on the boat specs and the sail inventory you intend to use. I would guess it will be somewhere between 190 and 220.Hope this helps.

PHRF Chesapeake Bay

Our deep draft 1986 Hunter 28.5 rates 174 non spinnaker on Chesapeake Bay with a 155% Genoa, no roller furler and a folding prop. Shoal draft may add 6 seconds per mile; roller furling may add 6 seconds, and some areas may give you a credit for a fixed prop. Don't expect that 190 and upwards rating; that's probably for the newer 28 which has a different rig and keel.There's a web site for the 28.5's with several racers, including some in the Great Lakes area:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/huntertwentyeightfive/
