phrf rating for cp23 mkII

[cindy]

Hi, Does anyone know the PHRF rating for a CP23 MKII?  We have a 150% genoa with roller furling, dacron sails.   Thanks, Cindy

Hi Cindy -

I don't race my 23 regularly, but the 2 times I have, she was given a 264, IIRC.

That may be an appropriate rating for an unladen 23 with new sails, but we sure suffered with it. Note that Epiphany is an original 23 (Hull #26), retrofitted with a bowsprit. That she also has an inboard diesel engine, old tired sails, and was loaded down with all kinds of cruising miscellany, probably had something to do with our speed.

Welcome to the Forum, BTW.
