Does anyone have the Portsmouth rating for the i550?

When I race in KC they give me a .81
It's tough to sail to, but the local lakes also make spins really hard to use- narrow, gusty, no room to run off in the puffs, etc.

Was the rating with spinnaker or non- spinnaker,,,, I am already having complaints because we are in 3rd for the series and some people don't like it....

Portsmouth doesn't allow non-spin, if the class has a spin, according to the club's rating guy (he once used to be on the usailing Portsmouth committee, he says).

Chad, if I read the table correctly, that PN puts you in the 156 PHRF range, which is certainly better than the 120s and 140s that people have been getting. Now being constrained on a small lake might not be helpful.
