I would like to convince the PHRF rater at my club to give me that rating if I'm sailing with the 110 alone. - I After the first day of racing using the 155 asnd the high winds I was too wore out to do it again the next day so I only hoisted the 110. It is great upwind but i suffer downwind with it.
Look on the
PHRF-NB web site at this link:
http://www.phrf-nb.org/ On the left menu click on "Ratings", then scroll down to the J/30s and you'll see Rhapsody with 2 certificates. You can also click on the "Rating Procedures" to see how they approach the rating changes.
