Columbia 45
7 / 29 - score 57%
The Columbia 45 is a 45.25ft masthead sloop designed by William Tripp Jr. and built in fiberglass by Columbia Yachts between 1971 and 1976.
180 units have been built.
The Columbia 45 is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. 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 good. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
