Well, your historical perspective could be a great help... except that you were probably too young at the time right?

Hey Mark, someone told me once that Columbia 29s ended up being disqualified from racing, do you remember if that was true? Did I ask you that already?

My second boat was a brand new Columbia 7.6 meter. Great little boat that was a joy to sail.

Don't know. I quit the racing scene about 1970. Can't see why the boats would be banned from handicap racing.

Here is a nice Columbia 26 that you can have for free, might need some TLC.
