Hanse 301 rating seems to be a black art Smile
Standard NHC for the 301 is 0.920 I believe, I've seen IRC boats rating 0.881, and in PSC's club class Hobo has rated anywhere from 0.838 to 1.000 depending on how they rated everyone else!
I've seen us rated level with Impalas, Maxi 1050/1100's and in the RTIR over the last few years we rate 0.981 in the ISC Rating System equal to Dehler 34s and Oceanis 37s.
Having said that, Hobo has won in both the PSC Spring/Autum Series and in the Portsmouth Regatta Club class in the past based on their handicap guesses, so can't be too bad.  We are regularly in the top third in the RTIR and one year we even managed 5th in class (we are not serious racers but we do try our best and carry a spinnaker).
Anyway hope you enjoy your racing whatever handicap you get!  If you ever fancy some fun (semi-serious) racing in the eastern Solent then come join us in the PSC Spring and Autumn Series ( https://www.portsmouthsc.co.uk/article/spring-spithead-series-" rel="nofollow - Portsmouth Sailing Club : Spring Spithead Series (portsmouthsc.co.uk)  ).
Cheers,
Alan.

Just an update on this, in the RTIR there is a Hanse 291 (very similar to 301) "White Mischief" that rates 0.880 in IRC.  The Impalas rate from 0.880 to 0.889
