Can somebody figure out my PHRF

Maybe someone out there can calculate from the numbers, but it''s easier to work from a base rating.

From the site it looks like a "Wega 24"? The place I usually look for base ratings (www.phrfne.org/baseh.htm) doesn''t list this particular boat.

From looking at boats in the 22-25 ft range, 278 does not seem unreasonable for a boat similar to yours.

As an FYI, I don''t know how close these actually are to your boat but here are some examples:

Cape Dory 22: 282
Cape Dory 25: 261
Pearson 24: 252
Bristol 24 Corsair: 276

The only really accurate way to know for sure is to apply for a PHRF certificate for the boat from your local organization. Let the comittee scratch their heads over it. Around here it''s about $35 for one, and it''s required before doing pretty much any race.
