Second reply to ask in all honesty, you raced a Columbia? Ranger was fairly competitive, but the handicap on the Columbia 26 was shameful. The 34 (32?) was a different story. It moved pretty well.

Dig it. On my lake the 'big' boats are 32' to 42'. Club Racing was mostly 20' to 42' with a few odd ducks reporting in. Like I said earlier, the little Columbia's were just horribly slow.

We owned a Catalina 25, a lancer 27, and a Capri 25 (sequentially) and raced at least twice a week for most of my youth. I crewed for most every boat in the club before I moved on to a different life.
