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.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top quarter. It is a good choice.
