Columbia 50
11 / 23 - score 48%
The Columbia 50 is a 50.0ft masthead sloop designed by William Tripp Jr. and built in fiberglass by Columbia Yachts between 1965 and 1972.
62 units have been built.
The Columbia 50 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
