[C320-list] PHRF HandicapsI

[Dave Moores]

Mike, just to normalize terms:  the higher the PHRF rating number, the lower
the resulting corrected time in the race results.  This lower corrected time
gives you a better chance to win, so raising the PHRF rating number means
that the handicap penalizes you less.  So I would call the higher number a
"better" handicap, and you always want the highest number you can get! (I
think you knew that but the way you wrote it sounded not quite right :-))

raising the phrf number from 135 to 141 is giving you a greater handicap as 
the lower the number the faster the boat.
catalina 42 base number is around 102, 320 around 159, j105 base around 78, 
j120 base around 51. numbers will vary from depending on region and 
equipment and other conditions

Best thing to do here is listen to Gerry Douglas introduce the design of the
C320 MKII:

All the talk about the splash guard is well and good, but what about
important stuff like hull and rig?  Or did they just leave those as is?

- by the way we finally got our rating raised to 141 (was 135 !!!) for the
2006 season,  and we are beating some good boats and skippers at that
rating.  Go Figure!
