The national PHRF database shows a 35-3 with an average PHRF at 117 and the CB
version at 129. You should be talking to your local PHRF gurus.

I am a little surprised that the cb model has the same PHRF as non-cb. At
least with my 90s era keel/cb vs the fin keel, we rate a higher. Further, in a
reasonable breeze (>6-8 knots), we point with
all the go fast boats with the board down and good sails.
Downwind, we hold our own in such breezes by raising the board and are seldom
rolled.
In light air, we suffer downwind dragging a keel/cb trunk about 12 inches
thick thru the water! Upwind we also suffer, but the pain is less since at
least we still point with the go fast boats (as we fall behind!).

Harold,
I switched to all rope (VPC) using the same sheaves with no issues over 2
seasons. If weight were an issue I would go with Dyneema with a cover for the
clutch.
The PHRF ratings are the same for the 2 models. I've never sailed against a
c/b model. (I need to race Chef Dave next year!) I would think that with the
board down you would point well. Maybe the main (like many of us) has lost its
shape over the years?

Have wire to rope halyards exclusively on my 35-3 1986 . What are the
disadvantages, since it seems most people , when they have to , change to rope
of various types. One I can think of is end to ending when there is wear, and
also less weight aloft, although how much difference that makes on a relatively
heavy boat I dont know. I club race white sail and will have to change fairly
soon because of wear at the jammers and beginnings of fraying of the wire. I
would tend to go with wire to rope again partly because of the type of sheaves
presently employed so need a strong reason to change.
While I am on the site, anyone with a 35-3 full keel who races against a
35-3 with keel centreboard have any idea of performance comparisons between
them. My boat is a centre board version. We do well enough, feel that we do not
point as high as other boats in our PHRF fleet especially in heavier air, no
other 35-3s in that fleet, but we run well and often overhaul boats that may
have got to the windward mark before us.
