Columbia 41
Description
The Columbia 41, designed by William H. Tripp Jr. in collaboration with B. Seeley, was produced by Columbia Yachts from 1972 to 1976, with 86 hulls built. This masthead sloop (with optional ketch rig) is a performance-oriented cruiser sharing hull molds with the earlier Columbia 39, featuring a fin keel with skeg-hung rudder for balanced handling and a spacious center-cockpit layout sleeping 6–7—renowned for its seaworthiness and value as a bluewater-capable classic.
