1968 Columbia C36

Repowered, Custom Refit 2015/6 and brand new Standing Rigging - 2023 Survey available 

Built for the boat show in 1968 this Columbia C-36 has unbelievable pedigree and pride of ownership throughout her well documented past.

Constructed by Columbia Yachts in California. The C-36 is a modern moderate fin keeled masthead sloop. Designed as a coastal and limited offshore cruising sailboat.  She is perfect for the Puget Sound, San Juan Island and Canadian water cruising.

Hydraulic Helm steering and ample room to relax in the large cockpit. Below there are 2 single quarter berths, a dinette that converts to a double, a single settee and a separate nav station across from the head (mid-ship) which has a hand held shower ,vanity mounted sink and marine head,  then the v-berth. The galley has counter mounted sinks. a propane range and a large ice box with good storage.

 Columbia 36's have a solid reputation, and this boat is a good example of a great legacy and era of boat building. Bill Crealock designed.
