You'll need to convert it:

PHRF=(DPN-55)x6, your DPN number is 64 so your PHRF number is (64-55) x 6 = 54

FIFY

PHRF=(DPN-55)x6, your DPN number is 63 so your PHRF number is (63-55) x 6 = 48

Looks like it. Bert posted some wind ratings here which appear to be more in line.

Beachcat Multihulls racing with big tri's, sport boats and leaner's limited to 6 knots by their hull speeds is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Accept it for what it is and enjoy the day.

Sorry, but that dpn to PHRF conversion does not apply to monohulls.

If so, our C 24 would have the same rating as a J 29 @ 114 - 117 - OOps, We are working on numbers for the N 20 and F 18 in the GYA (for two years), but we have not considered the F 16 since they have such a limited history for distance racing in the US. Our early provisional PHRF for a NACRA 20 is - 42.

Yea I did some math as well and the A cat would end up rating the same as our CS750 at 33.
