Ranger 23, or San Juan 23?

[Simon Sexton]

A Little Competition,

Let's see who prefers what, which boat you think would win a race, and why. I've sailed both of these, and found them both to perform very well. What's your opinion?

If you are racing with a traditional spinnaker, the Ranger would be my choice. Otherwise, for speed the San Juan.
