I 've looked through the threads and found that Brewer's list on the comfort level doesn't show either of these two. I currently own and sail the
Columbia and am considering
buying the H28 and then my wife and I will decide. I don't think I can talk the seller into sailing her because her running
rigging needs inspection/replacement. The H is a 1966, same as Ola, the
Columbia. What does anyone know about this H? Could not find the specs for this modification and she seems a little more
tender upon boarding. She is an interesting build by Far East Yachts of
Japan: 3/8 mahogany diagonal planking on oak, a layer of
canvas in Resorsinol and finished with 3/8 mahogany longitudinal,
bronze fastened. We regularly sail the
California coast, last sail out in Ola, following winds to thirty, seas to 6. My wife not happy, me, not so much either. But Ola seemed unconcerned, in spite of two controlled jibe attempts that got away from me.
Opinions about the H's
hull construction? Much of a difference between the comfort/sea ability?
My first sailboat was a 1958 Kingscruiser and I love wooden
boats. Maybe even if they are "cold molded".
