The Columbia 30 is an American sailboat that was designed by William H. Tripp Jr. and first built in 1971.[1][2] The Columbia 30's design was later used to develop the extended Columbia 32, the Coronado 32 and also the Sailcrafter 32.[3]
The New York Times, reviewing the boat at its debut, noted its "'years ahead' innovations in yacht design" typical of Tripp's naval architecture.[2]
Production[edit]
The design was built by Columbia Yachts in the United States from 1971 to 1973, with 287 boats completed.[1][4] They were manufactured in both Costa Mesa, California and Portsmouth, Virginia.[3]
Design[edit]
The Columbia 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel made of lead. It displaces 10,800 lb (4,899 kg) and carries 5,100 lb (2,313 kg) of ballast.[1][4] The shoal draft version displaces 12,700 lb (5,761 kg) and carries 7,300 lb (3,311 kg) of ballast.[1][4]
The boat has a draft of 5.90 ft (1.80 m) with the standard keel fitted and 3.11 ft (0.95 m) with the shoal keel.[1][4]
The boat is fitted with an Atomic 4 gasoline inboard motor or an optional 22 horse power Albin AD-21 diesel, driving a two-bladed bronze propeller, for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal).[1][4][3]
Below decks the design has a main salon featuring a folding, drop-down table with two settees that can be converted into upper and lower pilot berths. The design below also has a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, for total sleeping accommodation for six people. The galley has an icebox and a stainless steel sink. The head is fully enclosed.[3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.9 kn (12.8 km/h).[4]
Operational history[edit]
The Columbia 30 is considered to have fairly good performance, is fairly stiff or stable (rather than tender), and if capsized will right very well.[5] It can be satisfactory used as a bluewater cruiser,[5] although its water and fuel capacity are short for this use.
