PHRF is inherently unfair. Some boats are relatively better in some conditions than others. My boat, for example, will sail consistently better than it's rating in heavy air. Having said that, on lake Ontario the differential between spi and non spi boats is 20 seconds per mile. Forget about the unfairness of the process and go and have fun.

It's OK for DDW, but doesn't allow much reaching up in the lighter airs. Allowing 80% of the genoa's LP, as someone mentioned earlier as the most efficient pole length, would be better. If I did my math right, that translates to a pole length of 124% of J for the 155% genny that most use. That would also be a major improvement for beam reaching. Normally the clew of the genny will start to curl in on the 155% on a beam reach, so having the pole to extend the curl back to smooth flow would be more efficient.

Does your RC allow adjustable whisker poles longer than J length to be used during a race in your areas?
