Copyright © 2024 MAURIPRO Sailing LLC.Review of Columbia 43Basic specs.. The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. The Columbia 43 has been built with different keel alternatives. CentreBoard One option is a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters. The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed. The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.50 - 1.60 meter (4.92 - 5.22 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below. Another option is a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel. The keel is also made of lead. The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.10 - 2.20 meter (6.89 - 7.19 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below. Columbia 43 is typically equipped with a Palmer M-60 gasoline engine. Sailing characteristicsThis section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats. What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed? The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.7 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed. The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Columbia 43 is about 249 kg/cm, alternatively 1398 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 249 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1398 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch. Sailing statisticsThis section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points. What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)? What is a Ballast Ratio? MaintenanceWhen buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 51m 2 (548 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need. Are your sails worn out?

A few items of question for me are: Any experiences with the keels, , rebolting etc? locker usage? Hotwater location? Soft ? location? Adding ? Relocating of panel to nav station? Palmer to install? How much hp is enough? ? Cruising? I know these are all very general questions and many different variables can apply. I'm not interested in "generalities" or "variables". Anyone who has specific experiences, knowledge or suggestions regarding the 43 is gratiously encouraged to reply, suggest and advise.

Make that two owners now. The one and only other owner cared for her annually with a , grinding, fairing, and . He apparently was a fanatic and removed the original Perkins 4107 and installed the smaller, lighter Palmer for the obvious weight advantage. It was an estate so I didn't get to speak with her "captain" or her "first mate" as I purchased her through a . It became apparent he was a "racer" when I found 22 bags of aboard and a "fanatic" when a gentleman on the (who's father raced the previous owner of my boat in his Columbia 43) recanted the story of him yanking the Perkins and putting in the Palmer. The boat had been in Long Beach her whole "commissioned" life and was well known as "Flame". Now she is Wa'a Nui and is going to make the transition from "racer" to "liveaboard cruiser". Solid , great , plenty of space and lots of "aloha" coming from you-know-who and she'll get to see more than just the bouys! Thankfully the mast step situation had been addressed and is sitting on an epoxy block. As to the holding tank, no doubt a custom job. I'm thinking about "doing as the French do" and installing a holding tank up high with a 2" discharge line straight down and out. I have the 50L (12 gal) tank and have the intention of installing it in the hanging locker of the sink. My only hesitation with that is it will be using up some great space to build in custom cabinetry(not wide enough to hang clothes well) and that the to the holding tank will be a 5' rise. Otherwise I'm fine with that location. I certainly am trying to avoid putting the stink under the v-berth. Cockpit lockers on this boat are exceptionally large. So much so, I've considered making one of them a workshop. With the cockpit seat up, I can stand comfortably in the locker and with built-in bench and cabinets could have a great workspace. Sounds crazy, I know, but where do you think he stored those 22 bags of sails!? I've been thinking about the instant hot water heater in lieu of 110v/Heat exchanger. Any experiences with the models? The thought of these seems to make perfect sense to me, so I don't understand why they are not the standard. The soggy deck is something I'm not unfamiliar with. I had a similar experience on my 32. In that case I drilled through to take a core sample and it was decidedly wet, so I re-cored the entire foredeck. I'd like to try to avoid that if at all possible. My intentions are to do the core sample, drill holes every 1/2" in the delaminated areas heat to dry and then inject penetrating epoxy. I would much rather go this than to scarf the skins and re-core. Refrigeration question centered around additional necessary for the box. If someone with a C43 did or did not add and to what effect? I have an Adler Barbour cold plate system I'm going to install, I was curious of others results in their installations. Electrical panel is presently in the and the nav station is forward. Seems to make more sense to have it all together and away from wet countertops. Certain to be a challenge but a worthwhile one I perceive. Perkins was the original and the engine mount holes are still visible, though filled in. I'm looking to locate another 4107 and V-drive if that is sufficient for this 22,000lb behemoth. My Mariner 32 had a 4107 in it and it was only 12,000 lbs. I did do at idle in calm water though. ; ) Shaft size, V-drive angle and ratio are my specific questions. I do love the flush decks, however I think mast pulpits (or sissy bars as my friends call them) are in order. My haven't complanied about all the extra space though! If I had 10,000 lbs of weights, I'd pursue casting a lead keel, but the was good so I'll just try an hold off on that compulsion. A here and a there and all will be well. Thanks for all your and and I'll be sure to keep everyone up-to-date with pics on progress. Send any other Columbia 43 owners my way if you come across them Keep The Rig Up, The Water Out and The Glasses Full! Mike | | | 16-08-2009, 06:49 | | Boat: Pearson P39Hull#72 | was SERIOUSLY overpowered. Idling at speed sure sounds cool (for the drag fans), however never getting the engine to it's sweet spot makes for some serious carbon buildup....wouldn't want to be behind You when You finally decided to rev' 'er up to a "Normal" cruising & traveling through that "smoke screen". I've seen everything from 36' 'ers to 45' 'ers w/107's...frankly it depends on how much wetted surface there is and hull shape/lines as much as weight. I'm certain if the 4/107 was in it originally it wasn't underpowered. Overpowered (like Your former Ericson) is just a waste. Your boat (in the water & from the waterline down) has sleek lines & like the ericson, won't ever go past hull speed short of being towed or down waves so it's Your call...both it & the 4/108 would/will be an easy install. I'm confused, did the V-Drive get "uninstalled"? I'd bet if so, his widow has both IT AND the 4/107 sitting in the garage, shop out back, somewhere. Sounds like he was the type to not part with anything! 22 , wow! Anything a little small, let me know, my rig's quite similar (on a 4' shorter boat LOA). Sails can always be cut down; You might want to consider either a lectrasan, or composting head if You need space and Hate the stink (who doesn't)? Make SURE there are weepholes at the base of the mast, they historically were probably where Your block is, and grounding I'm guessing the surveyor checked thoroughly for. ALL the Columbia's have MONSTER Lazarette's usually both aft and in the cockpit...we had a 24' & 26' that I could stuff both our in (when they were little) or 3 big sail bags; they were less than HALF Your boat! For that work"shop" just add a hook for that so You don't up in the dark, or stuck in there. More success faster with a boat in the water for the soft spot can be accomplished by an elevated tarp above the worst area(s) directing all moisture , including most of the dew settling in the mornings. If he was that much of a , deck covers of any type (SOP for liveaboards) were probably never pursued. You can jury rig something fairly easily. A propane Instant hot water heater is a GOOD idea, just note (like their 110v/220v counterparts) they really, REALLY Suck Down that propane when in use. Another concern is co1 (carbon monoxide)...You'll need to get a detector that alarms on both it and gas as well as an airtight (or topsides) tank locker that's vented Overboard/Outboard. Mast Pulpits? Good Idea, as well as strategically placed pad eyes and swaged wire between them for a "static line" right dow the centerline of the top. Perfect place to secure those jacklines/tethers in to. Run it all the way up to just aft of the pulpit/windlass servicing area. 1 more addition with dogs would be lifeline netting. There's a Columbia Owners Group on Yahoo, a "shout out" there may find You more connections and suggestions? HTH, -mick | | | 12-02-2011, 14:03 | | Boat: 43' Columbia sloop-Rainbow | (burried in snow in dry for the winter). The hot water heater is located behind the engine, under the cockpit floor.

Being a light displacement racer cruiser, the 43 is probably going to be at the higher end. Downwind in 25 knots...if you're sailing conservatively with reefed sails, you're looking at 7-8 knots surging to 10. Being new to sailing, in 25 knots you do want to sail conservatively. 01-04-2017, 08:40.

Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. Keel. The Columbia 43 has been built with more than one type of keel. One option is a finn keel. The finn keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

Join Date: Aug 2006. Location: Channel Islands Harbor, CA. Boat: Columbia 43--Wa'a Nui. Posts: 53. Columbia 43. Ahoy all! I've just purchased a Columbia 43 in Long Beach, CA and was interested to know of others who are familiar with these boats. A few items of question for me are:
Blue Water Surf Value Rank (BWSVR) 1204. Capsize Comfort Value Rank (CCVR)
The history of Columbia Yachts, one of the earliest, largest, and most successful American builders of production fiberglass sailing yachts, (the company did offer a line of power yachts at one time) in many ways, mirrors that of the industry as a whole, from around 1960, until the late-1980's.

Probably from the same hull mold used to build the Tripp designed COLUMBIA 39 (1970). Shoal draft: 4.92′
About 15 boats to this design were built by Crystaliner as the ARCO 33 (1959) before the molds came into the hands of Columbia Yachts.
