Hi, assuming I follow through on my intent to get a Tartan 37 when I sell my little trawler, I probably won't do any more racing so the following question is really academic .. I noted that a T 37-1 CB is listed in the NE phrf base ratings at 177 while a T 37 is given a 138 base rating by the YRALIS.. My guess based on a few very informal speed contests between my previous boat a Pearson 10m and various T 37's is that the rating should be around the 138 in Long Island Sound. However, the question is how did such a big difference get started? I would assume that T37s are knocking people's socks off in New England waters with a 177 rating, Any ideas? :Thanks
Greg

There's some good info in this thread about our PHRF.

Reviving an old thread— I’ve read the linked one above as well. We’re racing a 1988 37-2 in the Tampa area (Davis Island YC) and inherited an insanely fast rating of 114 (111 when I add a sprit) and we’re just getting killed. Part of the problem is that the previous owner had really good and consistent crew and did a number of mods to the boat over the years and the rating was gradually whittled down to where it is now. Of course, I made it worse by adding the sprit for distance races and flying an a1 kite.. The mods include the taller mast, faired bottom and when the skeg was lost during a race to Mexico he had the rudder built up forward by 20% which greatly neutralized the helm. Still, this rating consistently knocks us out of competition in local races. We frequently race short-handed (rarely more than 4) and also a lot of the time double-handed with my wife. I’m going to appeal this with West Florida phrf, but need some numbers. Could anyone please give me your rating if you race your 37-2? Any help would be most appreciated!

Still got killed by a Ranger 29 every time. I could barely see him behind me when I crossed the line. He beat me by 2 minutes.

I'm PHRF Non Spin 153 on Chesapeake Bay with roller furling, CB and folding prop. We do all right in non spin.

Playing around, trying to find the end of the internet. Came across the polars for a T37. These can be useful and fun to play with, I think of polars as targets.

The draft, must be the deep keel. Does seem swallow. I would think their performance would be better upwind. With the keel/cbd maybe doing better with the sails cracked off wind. Got to believe the cbd model would have less wetted surface with board up.
