J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Racing Tools and Techniques PHRF rating is lower than other J/30’s

So there are three J/30’s in our PHRF fleet.

Mine- Heat’er Up #258 year built 1980

Mojo #531 year built 1986

Otis #317 year built 1984

Here is the PHRF rating for all three

Heat’er up. Spin 144 Cruise 153

Mojo. Spin 150 Cruise 159

Otis. Spin 159 Cruise 159

We all have OD specs no modifications and each have a 150% and a 110% head sail with a .50 spinnaker. The only difference from mine is they both have roller furlers and I have a track that has two slots to do a sail change underway.

Post links to the certificates to see how PHRF New England rates them. This is actually a question for your PHRF rating committee which they should be able to answer with certainty based on the data, or adjust the rating.

They get a break for furler
