[Rhodes22-list] NC-PHRF Rating difference of the two Rhodes models

[iweb86 at aol.com]

 OK, can anyone explain the big difference in the ratings of the two different models of the Rhodes 22 and Rhodes 22 Continental
 
I know the Continental is an older model. For my boat is a Continental and was built in 1972.
 
It looks like I will stay on the 456 Benateau with a 72 rating for racing.
 
Thanks All

Hello Again Rhodies~

The NC-PHRF handicapper has ruled:  

    R22    PHRF base rating        216
    prop adjustment                       12      (outboard - I don't get it)
    175 Genoa adjustment              -6

    rating for IMF R22 Raven       222

What has gone wrong here?  Has Roger's excellent Arkansas racing record finally 
lowered the R22 rating?  Actually I think not.  Each local PHRF committee sets 
its own ratings.  Do local committees send their PHRF ratings to US Sailing?  
There are no R22s or R22 Continentals listed in the NC-PHRF March 2005 
membership list.  (Raven just applied).

The back of the NC-PHRF Handbook list many various boats and rates R22s as:
    Rhodes 22                            216
    Rhodes 22 Continental         264

Do you think they have it backwards?     
    
Also:
    San Juan 23                           240
    San Juan 21                           252
    C&C 25                                 222

Can anybody keep up with a fin-keeled C&C 25?

Would anyone with experience appealing a PHRF Handicapper's ruling kindly offer 
some advice?

Thanks,
