I'm looking for Scorpion owners

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 ).
