Has anyone heard a PHRF rating for a 250WB?

Don't know about the water ballast. The wing keel here in Colorado is rated at 238. At this years Nationals the wk had to give the wb 6 second a mile.

I don't know enough about the calculation of PHRF to convert the 6 seconds to a rating number. Derek might have this info.

Here is a post from March of this year from the New England area

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
These are the base PHRF numbers for the PHRF-New England fleet.

CATALINA 250 CB 225
CATALINA 250 WK 228
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

This shows the wb faster that the wk.

Steve Steakley’s wk at Canyon Lake in Texas is rated at 240.

Bryan - Steve's basic PHRF on Canyon Lake is 228. The 240 is his adjusted number when racing in the Cruiser Fleet. We don't have any WB racing so have not assigned a number for it. I'm hoping to get some feedback from Steve and Bren on their Wednesday evening outings!
BTW in our PHRF protocol, we allow 12 secs for a roller furling headsail. If Bren were to get 6 seconds per mile over the WK, then his PHRF would be 234.

P.S. The C25 TR gets a 222 rating, and the C25 SR a 228. Keel configurations do not change these.

Without claiming to know the mechanics (I don't) I can report having to have searched the web for the WB rating. I found about five or so regions with numbers between 222 and 226. Don't recall the exact regions.
