Any thoughts on the Columbia 34 mk II? Here's a current example for sale:

The freeboards look very high, meaning great space but what are the downsides to high freeboards?
A lot of windage which will have some effect on sailing performance and can be problematic under power picking up a mooring on a windy day. But makes for a very large 34 footer and a lot of boat for the money. From the pictures seems to be fitted out with quality stuff.
