racing cat 42's - phrf rates from around the US

[Brad Dykstra]

I do some distance racing on Lake Michigan, such as the queen's cup the the Chicago to Mackinaw races. On lake Michigan, our phrf rate is 96, which seems a little low to me. If you race anywhere in the US, what is your rating? Also, has anyone found any tricks to improve your performance? Please e-mail me at dykstrabj@aol.comThanks

C-42 PHRFs

Brad, Bob just raced our C-42 in both Macks -- didn't do very well, but got good experience and had a wonderful time! Ready to go next year for the "big one"! In any event, our PHRFs for all three Great Lakes (our home base is Lake Erie) ranged from 96-99 -- I was surprised they were so close. I requested information on PHRFs before he registered (the Port Huron application asked for race results for sisterships). A sailor from San Fran wrote and said his was 104, I think, but he was the only one I heard from. Good luck and Happy Sailing!Chris Bloor & Bob SheppardGreat Escape IIIC-42 #372
