Hi
on Lake Ontario (which is nothing to judge by) we're currently 180 spinnaker and 198 white sail. with a 155% genny and a folding prop.

Your rating of 192 on Lake Michigan is a gift compared to PHRF-LO. We are stuck at 180 Spinn as Jim notes. There are very few Mark V's activly racing on Lake Ontario, in fact there are very few boats period in the 180 range to compare to so it's very difficult to push for a rating change. Are there any C&C 27 Mark 3's or 4's racing on Lake Mich. and if so what do they rate Spinn. That would give us a good gauge to go by over here. The Mark 3/4's here rate right around 192 and it's almost impossible to beat them in light wind <img src="emoticons/icon_frown.gif">less than 10kts.) which is the prevailing wind around here. I'd love to get some data from other areas to compare to.

Lake Winnipeg, Lake of the Woods deals Mk V's (Flying sails, 155 genoa, folding prop) a 177. Am I getting a bad deal?

Robert:
You have to remember that PHRF is a Rating System, used to equate boats so that they can compeat against each other on a level palying field. At least that's the principal of the whole thing. Your rating on Lake Winnipeg, Lake of the Woods at 177 may or may not be a good deal depending on what other boats you are racing against and what their rating is.
In comparrison to PHRF-LO a rating of 177 for a C&C 27 MkV with a 155% Genoa is a fast rating and would be tough to sail to on Lake Ontario. But it all depends on what the other boats you race against rate at. If for example a 27Mk3 was rating at 186 or 189 then your rating at 177 might be in line. Here on Lake Ontario the MkV's are rating at 180 and the Mk3-4's at 192 without penalties or credits.
