[Rhodes22-list] PHRF Measurements

[Peter Thorn]

Hello Rhodies,

Last night I measured Raven and sent in the PHRF form to NC-PHRF.  These
measurements are fairly accurate, but not perfect, so I caution the reader.
I believe they are just fine for PHRF rating application purposes.  However,
for measuring for new sails, suggest you follow your sailmakers form and
measure to the millimeter.  Raven is IMF.

J =  8.33'
I =   27'
P =  24.16'
E =  9.5'

SPL  (spinnaker pole length) and G (spinnaker girth) I left blank.  Raven
has a Doyle UPS cruising spinnaker that uses no pole.  I have a Forespar HD
6-12 adjustable whisker pole from another boat that will work just fine to
wing out the 175.

Since I feel sailboat races are won going to windward, I've chosen to sail
this year in the non-spinnaker class.  With the excellent sailing handling
capacity of the R22 IMF I think it would be easily possible to race
single-handed (or with passive crew) if the situation arose.  The 175 winged
out probably presents almost as much area as the UPS, but with more area
down low.

Have any others raced PHRF?  If so, what rating have your local committees
given to your IMF R22s?

Fair winds,

PT

PS~  Will, Ed suggested this be posted to the FAQ.  Could you arrange that?

Peter,
I have noticed the detailed replies you have received to this
question.  At one time I had some of this information, but for the moment I
cannot put my fingers on it.  One place to check is under sails at the
Geocities site.  Also, it appears that the measurements of the sails vary by
manufacturer.
When you get a reasonably accurate set of measurements, see if Will
will post to the Web Site, since this question comes up from time to time.

Roger, or any other Knowledgable Rhodie~

Need to know J, LP, SPL (for UPS, I guess), G, I, P, E and beam for the
local perf handicapper guy.  Raven is IMF.  Please, no guesses.

Thanks.

PT
