The sleeper factor is with the cruisers / casual sailors who judge the book by its cover which is most folks on the lake..
No Worries, as far as my racing competition and the PHRF committee is concerned, they can lookup a boat quicker you can say phrf.. They know what my boat is capable of and we're rated accordingly. Actually, the phrf committee came to my dock after one of the 1st races we ran to measure the boat and make sure I was not underrated.. Have fun racing. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA ?sleeper factor? is an interesting comment and touches a nerve with me. The comment we get mostly is we have a ?gift rating?. Seems when we do well in races our rating is a gift. However if we do poorly, we didn?t sail well. Whatever. I?m tired of other boats being sailed poorly and using gift rating as an excuse. The never ending problems with PHRF, I guess. Sorry for the rant. Long week. - Pete and his screaming, PHRF busting, 1984 straight up 37 Same story with the 34+ .. The "Sleeper" factor far outweighs the snob appeal of a bigger number on the badge any day in my book.
