I would appreciate it if I could get a sampling of C34 PHRF ratings from around the country. I have a C34 T 1986 and am rated 159 (no flying sails) on Lake Ontario
On Lake Michigan base rating is 150 for SM and 141 for TM add 15 seconds to each for jib and main only (no spinnaker). Also those are for fin keel w/ folding/feathering prop. I THINK it's another 9 seconds for fixed 3-blade prop. I'll be interested to see what others post.
Do a search on PHRF and you'll get a lot of hits. I collected a lot of info on C34 PHRF ratings last summer, BI (Before Ivan). Now there aren't any boats left!

Here on the Texas coast, my PHRF is 186 with a wing, standard mast, fixed 3 blade prop, and a 135 genoa.
In San Francisco, the YRA rating for a Catalina 34 is:
147
+3 for a two bladed fixed prop
+6 for a three bladed fixed prop
+3 for a headsail less than 125%
-3 for a headsail greater than 155%
When racing as one design fleet, Fleet 1 use a slight different set of adjustment from the base PHRF of 147
Lake Lainier GA with 145% and 3 blade fised is 165. Base was 153 with 12 sec for prop. That is standard rig, fin keel.
In southern CA a tall rig is 141 faster then a Cat 36 standard which is 144.
mmm... interesting. Cat 34 std is 150
Round Bay Sailing Association (Severn River on Chesapeake Bay) tall mast, wing keel, 2 blade prop, 135% genoa, no spinnaker - 153
