[Rhodes22-list] Peter's NC-PHRF Dilemma

[ed kroposki]

Peter:
	On the coast, around the corner from Stan, and Stan knows who they
are, is a group of R22 racers.  These guys are not on the list. They have
standard rigs.  Maybe their numbers are circulated surreptitiously.

Hello Again Rhodies~

The NC-PHRF handicapper has ruled:  

    R22    PHRF base rating        216
    prop adjustment                       12      (outboard - I don't get
it)
    175 Genoa adjustment              -6

    rating for IMF R22 Raven       222

What has gone wrong here?  Has Roger's excellent Arkansas racing record
finally lowered the R22 rating?  Actually I think not.  Each local PHRF
committee sets its own ratings.  Do local committees send their PHRF ratings
to US Sailing?  There are no R22s or R22 Continentals listed in the NC-PHRF
March 2005 membership list.  (Raven just applied).

The back of the NC-PHRF Handbook list many various boats and rates R22s as:
    Rhodes 22                            216
    Rhodes 22 Continental         264

Do you think they have it backwards?     
    
Also:
    San Juan 23                           240
    San Juan 21                           252
    C&C 25                                 222

Can anybody keep up with a fin-keeled C&C 25?

Would anyone with experience appealing a PHRF Handicapper's ruling kindly
offer some advice?

Thanks,

PT
