1973 Columbia 50 For Sale

Lots of Potential Here!!! Don't Let This Spacious, Solid Sailing Vessel Pass You By!!!

With the large flush deck, spacious interior, and bulletproof hull construction, this Columbia 50 is a real head-turner!

She has been completely re-done and made to be more functional, easier to sail single-hand, and capable of sailing anywhere.

Much of the hard work to restore this beautiful vessel has been done and she comes with everything necessary to complete the work that was started.

The interior was stripped and completely rebuilt from the hull up. While the galley/dinette was never finished, it is still functional.

Everything else has new bulkheads, which were done with West Systems epoxy. This boat is stronger and lighter than the original "drop-in" interior liner that she was built with.

Also, the refit freed up more usable space providing a functional interior that makes all working systems onboard easy to access

There is brand new wiring throughout the vessel - completely re-wired with all new components, switch panel, switches, bilge pumps, bus bars, etc

There is also a new Victron Charge Controller and Bluetooth battery monitoring system

The re-designed cockpit layout (winches, rope clutches, traveler, etc, now allows for single-handed sailing.

Has a Yanmar 4JH2-UTE 100hp Inboard Diesel in excellent condition with approx. 2000 hours

-- Keel stepped mast was re-fit 2 years ago.
== New wiring, tangs, sheaves, lights, antenna, Harken mainsail track, and paint.
-- Standing rigging was replaced 4 Years ago, mostly Haynes Hi-Mod compression fitting.
-- All chainplates were replaced 2 years ago before stepping the mast, They are titanium chainplates from Colligo Marine

The running rigging is mostly synthetic lines (Dyneema core w/nylon cover), about 2 years old, and in very good condition. She needs a secondary Jib/spinnaker Halyard run through the mast.

2x Barient 32 Winches, 3x Barient 28, Barient 24, 2x Barient 10 are all in good shape. The larger cockpit winches can be converted to self-tailing

Many additional miscellaneous new parts, spare engine parts, cleats and deck hardware, blocks, lines, materials, etc. will also be provided to a new owner. However, these will not be inventoried.

The owner is only selling because they purchased a new vessel. Priced to sell - over $20k below current value - because there are still some ongoing projects. This very generous asking price is in hopes that a motivated and enthusiastic new buyer will take these over and finish the restoration.

She will make an INCREDIBLE liveaboard, inter-island cruiser or South Pacific voyager!

​For her age and usage, this Columbia 50 is in very good condition. Pride of ownership shows throughout!

The integral ​water tanks are mostly complete but are not finished as of now. They need a little more fiberglass work and paint. ​The owner has​ the fiberglass supplies and potable water safe epoxy paint to finish as well as all fittings, pumps, plumbing, etc to finish the freshwater system. ​They​ will be working to complete this project before she sells​.​

She has one soft spot in the deck on starboard where the core has rotted out due to an old staysail track, it will need to have new core material and glass over an area roughly 2x4ft in size. There is an additional soft spot in the deck on port that is much smaller, roughly 18x18in.

Most thru-hulls have been replaced, but one of the cockpit drain thru-hulls will need to be replaced at the next haul out. ​The owner has​ the new thru-hull ready to be installed.
