There is a national database of PHRF ratings, giving the highest, lowest, and average for each boat. I don't think it has 'stock' boats only, meaning the range could include modifications or rating adjustments. Look at USSailing and then PHRF, and you should find it. Gary St. Michaels, MD Unde

If you buy a brand new Garhauer, you can have them custom make the mast and boom plates for attaching it for that price. Thus, having to fabricate that yourself, the old one should be discounted a bunch! I would start at half of what it cost new (back in the day) and then figure out how much it

It depends on the jib. On some boats (mine), you can move the car forward like Joel says, on others (like the J-24 I used to race on and the J-80 I race on now) you have a separate short track inside the shrouds to run the jib (blade type) through. Gary - Original Message - From: J

The only suggestion I would have is to consider genoa tracks. The reason is our C&C's are rather 'fat' boats and sheeting the genoa to the toe rail gives us a wider than optimum sheeting angle for the genoa. When I got my 30-1, I (had been to a couple of seminars and was loaded?? with knowledge)
