Description

Captain's Notes

Ahoy fellow mariners! Let me share a few personal tales about the 1970 Columbia 36. This beauty isn't just a sailboat; she’s a steadfast companion on the high seas. With her classic lines and robust fiberglass build, the Columbia 36 evokes nostalgia for the golden age of sailing, yet she’s built for today’s adventures. One thing I love about her is the helm—so responsive in a good breeze. You can feel her cutting through the water, making each tack a delight, whether you're skimming along the coast or heading out into deeper waters. The cabin, with its warm wood finishes, creates a snug retreat after a long day of sailing. I often find myself curling up with a good book or sharing stories with friends around the galley table. And don’t get me started on the storage; you can pack for a weekend getaway or an extended cruise without compromising comfort or space. If you’re looking for an adventure with a dash of classic charm, this vessel is ready to take you there.
