Lol- never race either but if I did I’d probably notice that the 33-2 is faster than most others I encounter on the water, especially in light air, should I be noticing such things. I did get schooled last weekend by a good friend (an accomplished racer) in a C&C 32 with tired sails. (My 33-2 is faster, hands down, I’m not.) I Had to work very hard and find another gear to slowly catch up. This in support of dwight’s point - the driver may matter more than the car.
