Maybe the ratings are a bit slower the PNW. J24's usually rate 186 (although some are 183) and the Merrit 25 rates 185. At 180, we are the same as the S2 7.9. Given the winter weather, we haven't been doing much racing to see if that seems about right. Our masthead is actually a bit shy of being full sized, and we use a standard length pole. With the class chute, we rate 183, so our masthead is not that much bigger.
