Regarding the 155, does anyone have recommendations for a sail loft from which to purchase one. If I go with a roller furling and a luff pad will that still result in an increase in performance over a 140.

thanks,

West Florida PHRF issues ratings for "True Cruisers" that are intended to take into consideration the extra weight and windage typically found on cruising boats. Our rating in this class is an embarrassingly high 156 for WL courses and 147 for random leg courses. The rating would be even higher if we were not penalized 6 seconds for sails that are less than three years old. (Original factory sails, including 155% headsail)

Our club offers PHRF and a local handicapping system. I've used the local for 26 years as it has many advantages over PHRF and so I don't have a PHRF number. But, I'll get one just for comparisons.

Moving the fairleads makes a difference. Going downwind I move the fairlead forward. Experiment for the best position for each wind condition. On a close reach I keep the fairleads fairly far back.

I second the larger pole comment. If you get the aluminum/carbon pole, it doesn't add much weight and is great insurance.

I don't recommend using a whisker pole as a spin pole, although I've been known to do it....bent a whisker pole on my last boat that way. Anything above a deep reach places the pole in compression and the whisker pole isn't made for that.

Almost everyone else uses a whisker pole setup downwind.

I would appreciate any ideas regarding whisker pole size, and onboard storage. I have been looking at a 3 inch diamater forespar 12-22 feet line adjustable. The local phrf is 1.4 x J. Forespar recommends this pole only up to 36 feet loa boat. The next... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jp66) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1181 Mon, 23 Jan 2006 17:16:03 GMT
