According to the local Doyle sailmaker, he claims that a PHRF legal main would have the following demensions.
Section 5.2 Mains
replace 5.1223 with
MGT=.891
MGU= 1.506
MGM= 2.621
I haven't taken the time to look into this. Perhaps someone knows what this all means and wishes to offer comment or thought.
The Doyle sail maker recommended the above change and also recommended changing the number of battens from 4 to 5
I mentioned the 5 batten recommendation in my post about main sail materil but not the recommnedation on sail demensions.
I will not include the sail demension change nor the batten change in my request to th BOG about main sail material change.
Someone else can pick up the standard and fight those battles
I've posted my thoughts on PHRF racing in another section - simply stated, I'm happy with the current ODR configuration with the exception of the main sail material.
My suggestion to active PHRF raceres - challenge your local PHRF to waive the 3 second penalty on the pole. Other classes such as the Hobie 33 have oversized poles and don't take the penalty.
