J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Racing Tools and Techniques PHRF rating ??????

The Narragansett Bay J/30 fleet asked PHRF-NB to look at the J/30 OD rating and successfully had it changed. Last year PHRF-NB changed the base head sail rating from 150% to 155% to be more consistent with other PHRF rating bodies. When they adjusted the ratings last year for this new baseline, the J/30s lost one second to all the boats with similar ratings, but there were no changes to those boats. Here is the result of the 2009 rating evaluation.

PHRF Spinnaker 138 (was 137 in 2008 and before)
PHRF Non-Spinnaker 155 (was 154 in 2008 and before)

With this adjustment, J/30s are now the same relative to other boats.

I also get a rating for just the #3 for when I enter doublehanded races. That PHRF rating is 150 spinnaker and 173 non-spinnaker (no change from before).
