Used Columbia 7.6 Sailboats for Sale

The Columbia 7.6 emerges as a noteworthy fiberglass sailboat, designed as a capable cruiser, offering a blend of performance and comfort within a compact footprint. Introduced in 1976 by the pioneering American builder Columbia Yachts, this model was conceived by the distinguished Australian naval architect Alan Payne, known for his work on both racing yachts, including America's Cup challengers, and robust cruising designs. The 7.6, meaning approximately 7.6 meters or just over 25 feet in length overall, was part of Columbia's new line of cruisers, aiming to provide a solid and accommodating vessel for its size. Its enduring design and construction saw it produced for a decade, reflecting its appeal to a segment of the sailing community seeking a versatile small cruiser.
