Tom,
My local PHRF committee has addressed the issue of adding a sprit to a
non-sprit boat. I sent you a copy, OFFLIST, of the minutes of their last
meeting where a modification was made to the applicable rule.

>finish overall was a 3rd for the season. We have 15 boats in the fleet and
>have an average of 10 boats racing. I am the big boat of the fleet with a
>rating of 147 non spinnaker and 127 with spinnaker. I was using the ATN sock
>for two years and then purchased a bag as a turtle with better results. We
>have learned how to gybe the shoot with a degree of success with
practice. The sprit should make it much easier to gybe, as I understand I can
do an inside gybe with the sprit. The assym has a girth of 180% and a sail area
of 1090, it is one big red sail. When we are on a broad reach the boat takes
off, down wind we sail off about 20 degrees and gybe. I hope this info helps a
few members.
