$4,000 · Columbia 26 Mk 2

This is an unusual boat. The Columbia 26 was one of the best racing/cruising boats ever made, and this one was equipped as a serious off-shore crusing/liveaboard, with a great battery pack and solar and wind charging. Lots of electronics. Cabin heater. The deck has no leaks. The flying sails are good: the fully battened Leitch McBride main has very few hours on it. The boat has new bottom paint, and was built at a time when Columbia used hand layup, as opposed to a chopper gun. If you can find a blister on the hull, I'll take $500 off. (If you don't find one, you pay an extra $500.) Both standing and running rigging are heavy duty in god condition. The PHRF handicap is 231, which makes the boat VERY competitive. You couldn't go racing more cheaply. Has good # 1 jenny, fair #2, great storm jib, good spinnaker. https://dawhois.comwwwshariyatsailingadventures.com.html
