Flying Fifteen rating.

Does the FF have a keelboat rating? I will of course enquire of the Club I'm thinking of asking to tag onto their bay races. 

You do know this thread is nearly a year old ?

Rascal is our smallest cruising keelboat. She has a masthead sloop rig, sail area of 322 sq ft, fin keel with draft of 4.33 ft, and spade rudder. She displaces 5,860 lbs and has 2,050 lbs of ballast. Rascal is rigged to fly a symmetrical spinnaker. She sleeps 3-4.

Rascal requires a keelboat novice rating.
