[C320-list] Data needed for Single Handed Race

[Joe Barrett]

This info is from US Sailings web site; 
C320 Fin Keel              Low; 141, High 162 Average 153
C320 Wing Keel;         Low; 141, high 165, Average 159
 I can't imagine racing this boat to a 141 rating particularly with the wing
keel! My C320 in Sw Florida has a base rating of 165 before adjustments such
as roller furling and feathering prop.

Pat,
The base rating for a Catalina 320 with a wing keel in the Chesapeake is
165. We have the standard roller furling jib, so we get an additional 6
seconds per mile for that and race with a rating of 171.  We also have a
feathering prop.  If you have a fixed prop, you should get credit for  it.
I think two blade should get 6 and three blade should get 9.
 
There is one Catalina 320 listed that is rigged for racing (i.e. fin keel/
no roller furling) and it is rated at 156.
PHRF's will vary a little by region.
 
It might be best for Jeff to just give links to various regional PHRF lists
versus the lists themselves.  The regions should keep their lists current
and someone can link to the nearest region to get an idea of what their PHRF
should be for their area.
