Columbia 87
12 / 58 - score 56%
The Columbia 87 is a 28.58ft masthead sloop designed by Alan Payne and built in fiberglass by Hughes Boat Works between 1976 and 1987.
380 units have been built.
The Columbia 87 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very 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.
