Located in Severna Park, Maryland, this 27-foot used Columbia 8.3 is a great cruising sailboat for sale. This Columiba 8.3 has a Volvo Penta 13hp diesel engine onboard to assist when the winds aren’t in your favor.
The cockpit is large and has room for all your family and friends to enjoy the day out sailing. There is a custom a transom seat, upgraded electronics, an autopilot tiller, and lockers for plenty of storage.
Below deck features a 2-burner stove, ice box, sink, dinette table, forward stateroom, and a full head. There is room for a small family or couple to spend the weekend out exploring on the water.
Included with the sale will be lots of extras including a roller furler (needs to be installed), four sails (Main Sail, 125 Jib, Storm Jib, and Drifter), and an extra tiller.

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this Columbia cruiser sailboat!
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Volvo Penta Diesel was available as an option.
A similar boat was also sold as the HUGHES 27.
