The Columbia 38 is a 38.92ft masthead sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built in fiberglass by Columbia Yachts between 1965 and 1967.
39 units have been built.
The Columbia 38 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
