Wow, is this confusing! Clearly, most PHRF districts have different interpretations of the ramifications of sail size, pole size, and sail material on rating. A few quick questions:
1. What is the rating for a one design equipped boat in the Chesapeake Bay (ditto other regions)?
2. What is the base PHRF rating for the same boat (i.e. 155, J length pole etc.)?
3. What is the rating for an unrestricted S-2 9.1 (to my mind, the closest performing PHRF boat raced in many regions)?
4. How about the J-29 Masthead Outboard rating?
5. Same questions for any other rating territories?
6. Does anybody adhere to (or try to adhere to) the YRALIS 1260 pound weight limit? I have trouble imagining a J-30 in 20 knots of wind racing with that weight.
7. Do all boats racing with a ODR setup strictly adhere to all OD rules (i.e. anchor, stove, cushions, bin covers, headstay length, sail purchse limitations, sail weights...). OK, no one will honestly respond to this one I think!
