ORR-EZ for 30-2 (or a 30)?

Hi there fellow Ericsonians,,,,
I don't suppose anyone has had their 30 rated under ORR or ORR-EZ?
I am hoping to do the Bayview-Mack this summer and have only ever had a PHRF rating, so I'm curious what the rating is

Great that you want to do the Mac. I am almost positive no 30-2's have been rated for ORR. That said, with a good bottom, the right sails and solid crew I bet you will do very well. Good luck!

ya, I figured that
how about a 30+, same hull and keel.... close enough?

Not really. Rigs are quite different, stern shapes and rudders are different. I bet you are better reaching at running in breeze and a 30+ might a tad better upwind and in lighter air. Hulls are similar until the aft few feet, but it isn't really the same boat. Sorry
