    Yes, I should have made myself more clear. I was talking about straight line speed, not speed around a course. The Boston and New York factions go (went) round and round about this. My best guess is that it was a tossup on the run and reach, and Ranger was clearly faster on the beat. This with Yankee in her "Giant 6 Meter" rig and extra ballast for 1937. The 13kt figure was earlier.

    Cheers,

    Earl
