Located in Long Beach, California, this 34-foot used Columbia 34 MKII is a cruising sloop sailboat for sale. The Columbia is sophisticated, highly engineered for a designed for a wide variety of uses. There are several still in use which exemplifies that they have weathered the test of time.
Head out confidently onto the water with a 9.9hp Mercury Pro Kicker engine on board as a backup to the Jib and Mainsail that has taken the owners on many adventures to Catalina and Two Harbors. She also has a dinghy with a small motor included. (See Photos)
The Palmer engine under the hatch needs some work but is not said to be too much. It is worth fixing!
Very importantly, this unit has a ceiling height of 7’ in the salon and galley. In the rest of the areas, the height drops down to 6’6”. This is wonderful for all you tall folks who have trouble finding a sailboat with this height!
With ample room to sleep 7 comfortably, which includes a bunk bed that converts in a salon setee, the V-berth, a quarter berth starboard, and the large dinette converts into sleeping for two! spend the night aboard your Columbia sailboat at your favorite waterfront spot in Catalina. It would even make a nice live-aboard! This sailboat boasts a great BBQ if you catch some fish while out on the water.
The sellers have been to Catalina Island about a dozen times with the boat. They said it takes them about 6 hours to get there from their dock in Long Beach. This 34 MKII has lots of space and basic amenities necessary for cruising by a crew or small family.
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)
The COLUMBIA 34 seems to be a slightly later variant of the COLUMBIA 33 (CARIBBEAN). Some were sold as kits.
