   Mark
   What type of boats are you racing against and the ratings?
   Do you have a good runner? With the T10’s we hope it is dead down, on a reach they start to catch up to the S27. Light to medium air is our best stuff.

   Mark you can always remove your engine, drop 250# like Victorine did! By the way his handicap was 138 as well. Interesting? He said he attempted contact PHRF but they did not respond. So how do I know this? He listed his boat for sale on CL.

     That’s an idea. However, my engine is still going strong.

   Hey Mark,
   I’ve been out of touch on your site for a while, but glad to see you are still racing well. On Rumor, we just got our first set of new sails. We were going okay, until I softened the rig tension a little in June. I now have speed on the national champion Frers 33, which rates 108. Our spinnaker is a little oversized at 185%, which gives a much better shape to keep full over the other 2 spins that came with the boat. I love the sail, and it flies much better than the ones that came with the boat. My 131 rating (Outboard -6 sec) has only been in the way last week, when I was 5 minutes in front of the fleet, and hit my own personal wind hole, correcting into 3rd by 7 seconds.
