Chrysler Sailors Forum

Talk about stumbling on to obscure things....

I was poking around, as usual, and accidently came upon the phrf rating for a Chrysler 22.
I didn't think that anyone had calculated this, but leave it to the northern Californians.

Apparently it is 258.

So according to their charting, a 22(on a 1 mile long drag race) would finish 264 seconds behind a J 125.

Interesting.

That would be a closer finish then the last Americas Cup!

Sorry, could not resist, it was too easy; I'm too loud, and too American.

Thanks

New England PHRF for Chrysler 22 swing keel is 276; fixed keel 270. Same as the Catalina 22. Hunter 22 - 252, Cal 22 - 240, Cape Dory 22 - 282, Irwin 23 - 252, Oday 22 - 279, Paceship 23 - 243, Pearson 22 - 252, Ranger 22 - 231, San Juan 21 - 258, Tanzer 22 - 246, Venture 22 - 264.

Chrysler 26 is 237.

I agree they wanted to go to multi hull and got the shaft but it looked like we had more sail area and that carbon fiber wing did not flex like cloth.

klassi1, saw the note on the 22 - be sure you hang around and post every now and then !!

I think if you could get a rock to float it would have the same rating as EE in light wind..

I will definately continue reading the forum. There is such a wealth of knowledge here and a great group of people. I'm pleased with the family I sold my C22 to. They will have many great summer days on the lake.

Being a born again racer...phrf is near and dear as there are not many one design fleets in the area. Ended up buying a Capri 25 with a 174 rating. Traded heavy air performance to light air performance.

Can't wait for Spring to finally get here.

EE My Getaway will ghost along in light wind but I gotta have all the laundry up. Avatar was in light air making way not fast but about 10 min after pic wind changed 180 and straight off the bow.

<lol> I know what you mean - look at EE's avatar and you'll see a genny with close to an 18.5' foot. That's all her laundry on the line right there.
