I got a PHRF rating of 237 for this boat from the p23 website (http://www.paceship.org/ppp_specs.asp?OwnerID=1661). I did not find a lot of these racing, but it looks like it should be pretty fast. John: Please check the size of your Genoa. It should be no larger than 155% of LP of overlap. Long ago and far away, some of these boats raced PHRF and might have a 170% overlap. PHRF assumes 155. If you use a larger jib, I'll have to adjust your handicap. By the way, LP is "luff perpendicular" it is a line drawn from the base of your mast to the forestay, perpendicular to the forestay. In other words, it is a line which would divide your foretriangle into two right triangles. You can calculate it by based on the J measurement (tack to base of mast) of 9', I(base of mast to top of forestay) of 27'. The rest would be a great math excercise for your scouts. Note that these boats were built in the early 70's and that a new one cost about $5500.00. Those were the days. See ya on the water. -----Original Message----- From: Ormond, John [mailto:John.Ormond@xxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 7:11 AM To: G.G.
