I'm not aware of any PHRF changes in the Narragansett Bay area. Bill Kneller Past Owner - Rhapsody J/30 #348 Projects & Documentation Core Replacement & Maintenance Blog Vento Solare J/109 #266

Thanks Taras

Best for you to contact PHRF NW directly if you want a conclusive answer. http://phrf-nw.org/welcome-to-phrf-nw/contact-phrf-nw-directly/ Bill Kneller Past Owner - Rhapsody J/30 #348 Projects & Documentation Core Replacement & Maintenance Blog Vento Solare J/109 #266

I sail with a Code 6 main and a smaller 153 #1 at 139. I plan to up my spinnaker size by 3 feet on the hoist to be 136 and get more downwind power. When I bump across the ditch and race PHRF NW, I lose 1 second to 138. I can confirm that is the OD rating for NW.
