I'm looking for Scorpion owners

[Loren Beach]

Seems that someone else is ready to pass the dream on. Some nice, but unfinished, detail work in the pics. Comes on a trailer, so any of you could tow it home...

Oh, to be 20 years younger... and $50K richer.....


(Even more stylish than an Alerion 28 ! )

Any idea if the Columbia 5.5meter and the Columbia Sabre were also the same hull. Way back I did much racing in the 5.5 meter.

Only ideas from these other threads, and sailboatdata.com, which suggest that they are:

I can see several details on the deck and house that are just the same as my Ericson, built a few years later. (Another thread stated that the deck was by Bruce King, but I've lost it.)

Yep, looks close if not identical.

These were really fun to race one design ( S.F.Bay ).
