Yep I hear you on that. There's a few Catalina 27's on my lake too with phrfs ranging from 198 -213. The 198 phrf boat is said to be an ex national champion with the hull's gelcoat ground-off to save weight..
He's good sailor (British chap), had fresh sails, was a tough nut to crack, especially in light winds. He didn't outpoint us, but in corrected time our 102 phrf meant that we had to finish a country mile ahead of 'em to beat 'em. We did beat 'em and won the season but it was really close pretty much every Wed nite, we had great time trading jabs and became friends.. Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five"
