The Columbia 43 Sailboat Specs & Key Performance Indicators

The Columbia 43 was designed by William Tripp Jr and built in the USA by Columbia Sailing Yachts. Her gentle sheer and flush deck make for a very attractive sailboat. From a purely aesthetic point of view, to me anyway - sailboat perfection.

read more about these Key Performance Indicators...

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Columbia 43

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18,2 suggests that the Columbia 43 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 50.2 means that the Columbia 43 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 257, tells us the Columbia 43 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 29.1 suggests that crew comfort of a Columbia 43 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.9 tells us that a Columbia 43 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0. 

Any Questions?

What other versions of the Columbia 43 were built?

There were two main versions of the Columbia 43: the standard model and the centreboard model (Columbia 43 CB). The centreboard model had a retractable keel that reduced the draft from 6.5 feet to 4.5 feet, making it more suitable for shallow waters. There was also a MkIII version of the Columbia 43 that had a slightly longer hull, a taller mast and a lead-ballasted keel, but only a few of these were made.

What is the accommodation like in the Columbia 43?

The Columbia 43 has a spacious and comfortable interior that can sleep up to six people. The layout consists of a V-berth forward, followed by a head with a shower to port and a hanging locker to starboard, aft of which there are two further single berths. The main saloon has a galley with a stove, oven, sink and refrigerator to port and a U-shaped dinette to starboard that converts to a double berth.

What keel options are available for the Columbia 43?

The Columbia 43 has two keel options: a fixed fin keel or a centreboard keel. The fixed fin keel is made of iron and has a draft of 6.5 feet. It provides good stability and performance in deep water, but limits the access to shallow anchorages or marinas. The centreboard keel is made of fibreglass and has a draft of 4.5 feet when retracted and 8.5 feet when extended. It allows more versatility in sailing in different water depths, but adds some complexity and maintenance to the boat.

What is the Columbia 43 like to sail?

The Columbia 43 is a fast and agile boat that can handle well in various wind and sea conditions. It has a moderate-displacement hull that can plane in strong winds, but also has enough ballast to keep it stable and balanced in moderate winds. It has a responsive helm and good manoeuvrability, making it fun to sail both upwind and downwind. It can also perform well in races, especially in long-distance offshore events.

What is the average cost of a secondhand Columbia 43?

The average cost of a secondhand Columbia 43 depends on several factors, such as the year of manufacture, the condition of the boat, the equipment and upgrades installed, and the location of the boat. Based on some recent listings on YachtWorld, the price range for a used Columbia 43 can vary from $25,000 to $65,000 USD.

Is this boatbuilder still in business?

No, this boatbuilder is no longer in business. Columbia Yachts was founded in 1958 by Richard Valdes as Glas Laminates, producing fibreglass products such as camper shells and canoes. It later changed its name to Glass Marine Industries and then to Columbia Sailing Yachts in 1965. It became one of the largest sailboat manufacturers in the US in the late 1960s and early 1970s, producing models ranging from 20 to 57 feet. However, it faced financial and managerial problems in the mid-1970s and was sold to the Whittaker Marine Group, which also owned Coronado Yachts. The production of Columbia sailboats ceased in 1978, and the company was dissolved in 1980.

What other sailboats have been created by this designer?

This designer, William H. Tripp Jr., was a prolific and influential naval architect who created many sailboats for various boatbuilders, such as Hinckley, Pearson, Nautor's Swan, Baltic Yachts, and of course, Columbia Yachts. Some of his most famous designs include the Bermuda 40, the Columbia 50, the Swan 36, the Baltic 51, and the Tripp 47.

In the interest of full disclosure I should tell readers that I purchased a Columbia 43 two weeks ago. It is most definitely a project boat, but I'm pleased with the purchase. The article is a result of the research I did before I bought the boat. Brandon Ford

Hey Brandon, I purchased a Columbia 43 (1973) in Detroit. If you have any questions or comments my email is [email protected] Captain Bob

Congratulations! That is a very handsome boat which looks as if it could go anywhere. The powerful looking bow is especially impressive in profile. It gives the impression it will just shoulder its way easily through any sea, like a night-club bouncer crossing a crowded dance floor.

Thanks Patrick. I'm looking forward to getting her in shape to face any sea. Long-distance cruising is in our near-term plans. I just have to get through a to-do list of about 1001 things. Then we're off.

I think you bought well Brandon, you know my thoughts and she's dam fine looking as well. look forward to reading more about her.

Thanks Max. Your great advice is much appreciated and played no small part in easing my mind when I handed over the check. The boat came with a basement full of parts and pieces -- some of them new. I think she will prove to be a good deal as well as a good boat.

I'd like to have hull number one, the one with the Columbia 50 deck. That's a nice looking boat, plus it doesn't have that aluminum H for the hull to deck joint.

Hey Brandon! I own Jiminy Cricket! Hull number 007. A Columbia 43 that was actually rigged as a yawl before I bought her. The decks have all been re done and she will be back in the water soon. email me if you want pics. Good choice my friend! She is a wonderful yacht. Fast and seaworhty! [email protected] Mark

This blog is about a three-year total refit of Oceanus, our 1971 Columbia 43, turning this classic Bill Tripp racer into a comfortable and fast cruising boat. We left Newport, Ore., in February 2016 and sailed to Southern California and Mexico. We are now in Hawaii and plan to cruise these beautiful islands before returning to the Northwest.

Distant Dreamer 5 comments:. I have owned a Columbia 43 since 1970 and have sailed to Maine, Nova Scotia, England, Jersey Isles, Canary Isles, Azores, Windward and Leeward Islands, Pueto Rico, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, Florida to the Chesapeake Bay. Always loved the boat but she has fallen on hard times, such as a sinking, and general neglect. I have dreamed of resurrecting her but time, age and money have limited my attempts. I really enjoyed looking at this blog and think of what could of been. I'm 74 now and wonder if I realistically will ever bring her back to her former glory. Selling isn't a great option as I look at the investment in self tailing winches, mast fanny supports, anchor davit, sails propane stove and so on alone probably are worth more than what a refurbished 43 would cost if I sold the parts individually. Anyhow enjoyed reading what you are doing on your vessel. She sounds like a great boat with a wonderful legacy of going places. Sorry she's fallen on hard times. You're right about Columbia 43s being under valued. They are wonderful boats, but unrecognized as such. I hope a few owners can change that. Duke, please send some photos and more information. I'd love to list your boat among the notable Columbia 43s. Just by virtue of the miles under her keel and the places she's visited she more than qualifies. I would appreciate info about name(s), hull number and that sort of thing too. Brandon I will take some pictures and gather information on Destiny. She was documented so perhaps hull number may be on that. Also have a few yarns to tell about her travels. Do you have email address to send pics too? I don't seem to be able to do it on this blog. Once you see her you'll be happy about the work you have done on yours. Gerry Yes! Please! Send pics and yarns. I can hardly wait. Were you the original owner? Did Destiny do any racin? (Although I'm way more interested in cruising.) Also please comment on how the boat handles, what improvements you made or wish you made. My email (which was hacked last weekend, but I've since changed the password) is brandonfordus(at sign)yahoo.com. Thanks! Brandon I sent in some recent pictures of Destiny. Her active years were recorded on print film and slides. I will have to look into converting them to digital format. I resurrected the documentation papers and found that I purchased her in August of 1971. Her hull number was 111. She was at the Annapolis Boat Show and fell in love with her lines immediately as I could see she would be a great cruising boat. My wife and I wanted to cruise as live-aboards when we were young and not later on when age might keep us from doing so. It was a foolish decision from our parents perspective but a great one in hindsight. She came with a gasoline engine but we replaced it with a Westerbeke diesel. We also replaced the alcohol stove/oven with a stainless steel propane one. We also added mast steps to get to the top of the mast and was a great addition to someone sailing with limited crew. Just before getting ready to chuck our jobs i replaced the fuel and water tanks with bladder types and added some more in various other compartments of the vessel. We also put on a wind vane style self steering mechanism. Our last winter before we left I added a small firebox that burned pea coal and that provided more than enough heat on a freezing night. We lived and worked in the Philadelphia area while refitting Destiny into a shorthanded vessel, adding self tailing winches, a substantial anchor davit and windlass with an all chain rode, also fanny supports around the mast to facilitate sail changes. In addition we had a life raft support made for an easy toss into the ocean if need be. A boom crutch was added which was the front support for an awning that covered the entire cockpit. One last addition was a club jib which was great for sailing in high wind conditions since it was not way up at the bow and was a small sail that could even be furled into a smaller area.

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. Best wat to get to it is through the Port Side Lasserette. Once inside, remove the pannel, and whola! can miss the water heater. 11-03-2014, 07:32   was to Ensanada, the Doc & Flame took PHRF honors. 1st PHRF to finish,first in class , among other awards.

Sailboat Guide Columbia 43 CB Columbia 43 CB is a 43 ′ 2 ″ / 13.2 m monohull sailboat designed by William H. Tripp Jr. and built by Columbia Yachts between 1969 and 1974. Rig and Sails Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations. 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 Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement Ratio 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 SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay). D : Displacement in pounds. Ballast / Displacement Ratio 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 Displacement / Length Ratio 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 D: Displacement of the boat in pounds. LWL: Waterline length in feet Comfort Ratio 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 Beam 1.33 ) D: Displacement of the boat in pounds LOA: Length overall in feet Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet Capsize Screening Formula 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) How many of this centerboard version were built is unknown(to us). Embed this page on your own website by copying and pasting this code.

Family friend remembers father, son missing after boat capsized in Columbia River Bar by Bobby Corser and Emily Girsch, KATU Staff PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Constantin Leahu, 43, and his 11-year-old son, Andrei Leahu, remain missing after they were tossed overboard on Saturday, July 13, in the Columbia River Bar, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. A friend of the family says the loss has been devastating. “I have an 11-year-old as well, and we brought them up together,” said Irina Negrean. READ MORE | Coast Guard suspends search for two missing after boat capsizes on Columbia River Negrean said Andrei was excited to go fishing with his father on Saturday to celebrate his birthday. And then the unthinkable happened. The boat they were on capsized at the Columbia River Bar, sending five people into the water. After searching for 10 hours and covering 148-square nautical miles, the Coast Guard found three people, one of whom was dead. They did not find the father and son. A spokesperson for the Coast Guard, Briana Carter, is now urging caution for boaters. She says the Columbia River Bar is an extremely dangerous waterway to navigate. “Conditions can change pretty frequently out on the water,” she said. “Low tide, high tide, those are main factors. Weather can be a factor. So you really have to be aware of what your boat can handle, what you can handle. Things can change in an instant." Andrei leaves behind four sisters, ranging in age from 2 to 14. “He was all about his siblings,” said Negrean. “He could be seen holding his baby sisters all the time.” The girls and their mother are now without the family patriarch. “Elena was a stay-at-home mom to the five children. All of that has to change now,” Negrean said. Negrean says life without them is hard to imagine. “Not only do they have to grapple with the reality that nothing will ever be the same, but also the loss of these two important pillar figures in their family,” Negrean said. The family has established a GoFundMe . Our previous reporting stated the missing adult was 54 years old. New information confirms that he is 43 years old. Father, son still missing after boat capsized crossing Columbia River bar, family friend says A family friend confirmed Thursday that the two people missing after a fishing boat accident July 13 at the Columbia River bar are a 43-year-old Camas man and his 11-year-old son. Constantin Leahu, his son Andrei Leahu and three friends took a 26-foot boat on a fishing trip in the Pacific Ocean last Saturday, said Irina Negrean, a family friend. The boy had just turned 11 the day before and had convinced his father to let him go on a fishing trip with his dad for the first time, Negrean said, Negrean said. The trip turned deadly around 10:30 a.m. when the boat was heading back over the Columbia River bar . The boat “collided with the bar” and capsized, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement. Two of the people on the boat were pulled out of the water by Good Samaritans in the area and survived. The other person on the boat, John Miller, 65, was pronounced dead at a hospital after Coast Guard rescuers pulled him out of the water. The Coast Guard searched for the boy and his father for about 11 hours but then suspended the search. Negrean said she learned about the accident when the pastor of her church called her mother and told her to come to the Leahu household. Negrean and her mother both sat and prayed with Constantin Leahu’s wife, Elena Venera, and their four daughters. “The family was devastated,” Negrean said. “We held out hope for them to be recovered. And then, as time went on, it just became harder to believe that they could have survived.” Leahu and his wife are Romanian immigrants, Negrean said. Leahu is a deckbuilder. The oldest of the couple’s five children is 14 years old and the youngest is 2. Andrei, the second-oldest child, was “incredibly bright, funny and a social butterfly,” a friend wrote on a GoFundMe fundraising page in the family’s name, which as of Thursday evening had drawn more than $63,000 in donations. “His life was just starting,” Negrean said. “He was a wonderful little boy that was taken much too soon.” — Fedor Zarkhin is a breaking news and enterprise reporter with a focus on crime.
