The Columbia 96 is a 31.5ft masthead sloop designed by Alan Payne and built in fiberglass by Columbia Yachts between 1975 and 1979.

The Columbia 96 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. 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 small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top half. It is a good choice.
