How can I find a small PHRF racer?

  • Add to quote

I have recently moved to a new club where the one-design racing fleets are not a good fit and have decided that I would be well served by racing in the PHRF fleet in a 18' to 22' sloop with a fixed or retractable keel and an assymetrical spinnaker.. I have identified several designs that meet my criteria but haven't had any luck finding them for sale. The price is too low to make this sort of boat worth handling for yacht brokers. The class associations seem moribund. Using Search Tempest to comb Craig's List offerings within 800 miles I found only one offering and it was more of project than I'm willing to undertake. Do you have other avenues to find a small PHRF racer?

Maybe Facebook Marketplace? Otherwise, I have found new listings by just googling the boat. What boats are you looking for, and where? There may be some on this forum that would have a lead.

Also, What is your budget and where are you in the country?  

sr max 21 sailboat review

Have you tried sailboatlistings.com? Has boats for sale by owner and in all sizes. Note however that many listings are old and don't seem to get removed.  

Covid has squashed the post-race socialization where I'd normally get most the skinny on boats available. I have heard a couple of boats from the one-design fleets but I don't think that they are a good fit. I don't see any boats in the PHRF fleet that appeal to me. I think that the sweet spot in the PHRF fleet is about 165 rating. I'm looking for a small keel boat with a rating around there. My first thoughts are C&C SR Max 21, Sonar, or Impulse 21. Other prospects include: Irwin mini-ton, Ranger 23, Santana 20, and Santana 23-D. I am on the Delaware River near Philadelphia. I'm willing to travel up 600 miles for a good boat on a good trailer. The boat will be kept at a mooring. Budget would not be a constraint. My previous boats were J/27(raced PHRF), J/30 ( raced both PHRF and one-design; lost in Sandy), and a Thistle.(one-design) I have exhausted Sailboatlisting.com and Texas sailing. All relevant listings are out-of-date. Most owners didn't respond. The few that did respond told me that they had sold the boat three or more years ago.

Thanks, the J/22 is raced in a highly competitive, one-design fleet at the club. I'm new to the club and getting long of tooth; I'm afraid I wouldn't have much luck recruiting a compettive crew. Twenty years ago I would have been on it like stink on poop.  

The Ranger 23 and the Santana 23D are both competitive under PHRF. My only comment is that any 22-24 foot boat will require an equal size, and equally skilled crew to race competitively. Personally, I found the J-22 to be a super boat and affordable boat to race one design, but not as easily competitive under PHRF. Jeff  

At the affordable end of the range are boats little the Wavelength 24, Capri 25, Kirby 25, j-24 and S2 6.9. A little more expensive is the Tripp 26. Jeff

Capri 22 tall rig fin keep would be a very competitive shorthanded PHRF boat, but in the 200 range. Jeff's suggestions were much closer, Capri 25, and Wavelength 24, both of which can be competitive short handed if sailed right. Another bigger in same range might be an S2 7.9, there are real boats available on s279.org but they are drawing top dollar now. Ultimate 24 might work but will require some crew. Buying a boat now will be tough and expensive. Check Sailing Anarchy classifieds. Also if you are getting old listing on sailboatlistings you aren't paying attention to posting date. People post them but rarely remove them, same with sailingtexas. Always check posting date first. Craigslist will sometimes find rare boats that aren't listed elsewhere.  

Find yacht clubs and sailing clubs that are near you--search online, ask around. Look at their websites--they will either have a FOR SALE/SAIL section, &/or NEWSLETTERS. Newsletters nearly always have For Sale listings. Give someone a call, odds are good they will love to chat about boats and sailing. Yeah/No, yacht brokers aren't going to have what you described! You are right.  

Thank you all for your assistance. Since the sailing season has ended for most, a few appropriate boats have started to appear on Craigslist.  

I found a W. D. Schock Wavelength 24 through Searchtempest.com. It's been well maintained and has reasonably fresh sails. Now I need to find and develop crew.

I did buy the Wavelength 24 and am very happy with it. I have started racing it and have enjoyed success in light air. We've practiced a bit in more wind and it looks like it will be a hoot.

  1. SR Max 21

    1.) In light air, keep the weight forward. 2.) In heavy air move the weight aft. 3.) Roll Tack and Gybe in light air. 4.) Backstay on in heavy air. Now I will be the first to admit that every boat has its little quirks thus the info about driving and the specifics about the rig in this example.

    4,399. 3. Both places at the same time. Oct 26, 2012. #16. SR 21--heavier than the Viper...probably a bit better upwind in slop. Rating ought to make up the difference in speed. SR 21 is not as wet as the Viper & should be better in the light stuff---it is a Henderson design, afterall. BTW, Glenn oversaw the build.

  4. C&C SR 21

    While i have never sailed on a U 20 i personally believe the SR 21 is a better boat.Its faster and alot cheaper.Boats that are in pretty good shape cost around 7500-9000 with a few sails.Im not sure how the competition is in the U 20 class so im not gonna bash them but competition in the 21 class is pretty good and racing gets pretty intense at ...

    It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
