Columbia 52
4 / 17 - score 58%
The Columbia 52 is a 51.83ft masthead sloop designed by William H. Tripp Jr. and built in fiberglass by Columbia Yachts between 1971 and 1973.
7 units have been built.
The Columbia 52 is a moderate weight 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. The fuel capacity is average. There is a short 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.
