Joe, we are the 141 (we used to be 135 but actually got it changed after
several years of appeals).

Of course that is with spinnaker and the fin keel.  Our white sail rating is
153.  We win quite a few races against some good sailors, but as I found out
last night (bullet) it  makes a real difference to have a clean bottom, and
not be too heavy!

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. Joe Barrett

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. Steve Lunsford s/v Joy
