I’m guessing most of the reviews are for boats with big changes in performance. 
PHRF Chesapeake has done some, but not often. Looking around the country, the 
30-1, from hull number 1 (on the Chesapeake) to hull numbers over 600 seem to 
have the same 174 handicap (mine is number 593 and is 174 also). There may be 
exceptions, but I would doubt that Randy’s boat (assuming it has not been 
modified in major ways) would prompt a review. I’m not sure what one would do 
to a 30-1 to increase performance unless you cut a bunch of weight off the keel 
– and that would decrease it’s performance in heavy weather. At the Chesapeake 
rendezvous a couple months ago, I got to look at Rick’s number 1 and it is very 
similar to my 593, only differing is the area of chainplate attachments and 
some cabinet doors.

I am pretty sure that no review of ratings has been done at my club in at least 
10 years.  Dave

Well Lee, since you bring up PHRF reviews, let me ask you listers, how often do 
your clubs or RSAs conduct rating reviews and adjustments?  

 

The introduction in “the book” 
(https://www.ussailing.org/competition/offshore/phrf/phrf-handicaps/) says 
under heading "Considerations when using this listing to determine a handicap 
by averaging fleet data” that "After the initial handicap is chosen and the 
boat is raced, an empirical analysis of performance may permit a more refined 
estimate of its speed potential.”  And a review of 
https://www.ussailing.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/USPHRF-Fleets-1.pdf shows 
that most clubs derive handicaps from “the book,” then review and adjust based 
on local experience. 

 

So, how many of y’all do that?

 

Cheers,

Randy

Dear Sir,

 

RE:  Randy Stafford  S/V Grenadin   C&C 30 MK I #79  LISTED as Hull #7

 

I have put in a request for an immediate PHRF review of your boat.  With over 
70 shipyard refinements, it’s clear now, why your boat is so fast, and only 
right that your rating reflect the changes you failed to document.  I expect 
the board will want to question you very carefully about the additional changes 
to your boat over and above the documented 1972 norms.  I have suggested that 
the penalty not be limited to just changing a PHRF number, but the monetary 
fine should reflect the price of the current boat you have chosen to race.  
Perhaps if you raced a newer more expensive boat, you would be disinclined to 
perpetrate this excessive winning streak, which is depressing both the local 
fleet and the attendance of future sailors to the sport.  You should hear from 
the PHRF board by the end of the month.

 

Regretfully, Lee   

Yea, cold and wet in Seattle

Listers-

 

When I was buying my 30 MK I (HIN 30007972) four years ago, I came to the 
conclusion she was hull number 7 laid up in September 1972, I think based on 
this old post: 
http://cnc-list.com/pipermail/cnc-list_cnc-list.com/2012-April/044412.html.

 

Meanwhile a discussion arose recently in the Facebook C&C Owners Group where a 
guy asked how to decode HIN 30002672.  I emailed Rob Ball hoping for 
clarification, and Rob referred me to Rob MacLachlan of South Shore Yachts.  
Rob MacLachlan said definitively I have hull #79, not hull #7.  So the HIN 
format C&C used before standardization on November 1st 1972 apparently didn’t 
include any digits indicating the month in which the hull was laid up.

 

I’ll be damned, I said.  All this time I thought I had hull #7.

 

Rick Bushie on this list owns 30 MK I hull #1, and his HIN plate says simply 
“30-1 1971N”.

Brian Buttigieg in the Facebook group owns 30 MK I hull #5, he says, but hasn’t 
posted his HIN yet.

Jack Rousseau in the Facebook group owned 30 MK I hull #8 and said it was made 
in 1971.

Sean Dillon in the Facebook group owns 30 MK I hull #14 and says it’s a 1971 
boat.

Ed Levert on this list owned hull #19 and thought it was a 1971 boat.

The owners of HINs 30002672, 30005972, and 30009472 have also been heard from 
here or in the Facebook group.

Steve Guiney in the Facebook group owns hull #123 and his HIN is CCY301231172 
(CCY was later used by the Rhode Island factory but it didn’t open until 
February 1976)

 

It seems clear that C&C changed 30 MK I HIN formats at least twice over the 
production run.  And I shall change my email signature according to what I’ve 
learnt.

 

Cheers,

Randy Stafford
