I have a Catalina 25 Wk, SR with diesel inboard. I have been trying to find the PHRF rating. I have found numbers from 225 to 250. I decided I do not know what I am doing. I have been thinking about racing. Any of you guys know which/what number is correct.

Thanks

PHRF handicaps are established by the branch of the organization that governs the specific locale where you race. It appears that there are branches for the Galveston area, and for the "South Texas" area, and also for Texas generally, and there might be others. I would suggest that you ask local racers or a local club which PHRF branch governs your area.

There aren't many inboard diesel C25s out there, so the branch might not have a rating for yours yet. When you apply for your rating, you will have to fill out a form, and they will use the information in that form to determine your specific rating.

Steve is right. Each region sets their own "rules" for handicapping. When I started racing Snickerdoodle my rating was 210. Over the years, my handicap changed several times (228, 252, 248) whenever the "powers-that-be" decided to emphasize or de-emphasize something.

I could only find one such boat racing in the PHRF Handbook. It was rated at 237. Nationally the consensus on the C25 SR SK/FK is 228 and the TR FK/SK is 223 (both with O/B's)

The base rating for inboard, standard rig, fin keel is 240. That would be with a 155% genoa and a symmetric spinnaker on a pole. The wing keel should reduce pointing, making your rating a bit higher.

To get a true PHRF you need to be registered with a local rating agency. For fun races they'll usually give you a provisional PHRF, and my guess is that yours would be in the 240-250 range.

Thanks All

This is a new club and I haven't joined yet, but plan to. I am the process of moving my boat to a new lake. I am told they use the PHRF scoring method. Currently I crew on a 22 and PHRF numbers are not involved.
