USSailing PHRF Database
You can get an idea for what you might be from USSailing at http://offshore.ussailing.org/Assets/Offshore/PHRF/High+Low+Mean+PHRF+Handicaps.pdf.
They list the average handicap as 126. I think thats the base handicap, and you might get credits for fixed props, smaller headsails, shoal keel, roller furler, and other "go slower" devices.
From my limited experience, I don't think thats a "gift" rating, but you should be competitive with a well prepared boat, good sails, and an experienced crew.

Competitive PHRF Rating!
Cory:
The boat is more than competitive with that rating.....evidently there must be some new factors taken into cinsideration, but I cannot tell what they are......
It is possible that there are enough of the 35-3's racing and possibly where they place is a factor.....after all..... it is supposed to be based on performance....
I did well with the boat in Florida when I raced there under their Mickey Mouse rating system.......but my biggest handicap was that our "YOUNG" cabin boy is 65......and the rest of the ages went uphill...or down as you would prefer....from there....
So far I have been training my young Niece and Nephew (40's) and sailing very conservativly we have finished quite well......
FWIW
