Columbia 28 2

Designed by the renowned William Crealock and built by Columbia Yachts starting in 1969, this 28-footer represents classic American sailboat craftsmanship from the golden era of fiberglass production sailing. The Columbia 28 Mark II combines traditional styling with practical sailing characteristics that have made it a popular choice among coastal cruisers for decades. At 27.58 feet overall with a beam of 8.50 feet, the boat offers a comfortable cockpit and surprisingly spacious interior for weekend getaways and extended coastal voyages. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration provides responsive handling and good upwind performance, while the moderate displacement of 6,800 pounds with 3,000 pounds of ballast ensures stability without sacrificing sailing ability. With a masthead sloop rig carrying 358 square feet of sail area, the Columbia 28 II delivers solid performance in light to moderate conditions. The comfort ratio of 25.79 and capsize screening value of 1.8 indicate this boat excels at coastal cruising rather than aggressive offshore passages. Hull speed reaches 6.26 knots, making it ideal for relaxed day sailing and island hopping. Crealock's design expertise shows in the boat's seaworthy proportions and enduring popularity among cruising sailors seeking an affordable, reliable coastal cruiser.
