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.
