1981 COLUMBIA 11.8.TWO CABINS,TO HEADS. READY FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE.
1981 Columbia 11.8 meter sailboat with Center Cockpit helm.
The boat has a diesel engine with 70 gal of fuel capacity and 150 gal of water.
This boat has 2 cabins and 2 heads for privacy while cruising.
Sailors report this boat to be beefy, heavy with 10,700 # 0f Ballast, sturdy, and can go to weather. The center cockpit is a good place to sail from especially with the Dodger and Bimini Top. She sails surprisingly well in light air but is slow to get up to hull speed. In heavy winds it is stable and able to take weather others cannot handle.
The boat needs some work and attention. These Yachts make a great bluewater sailor when set up properly.
The seller spent $17,000 to update rigging over the past 3 years replacing all standing rigging, including chain plates, lines, winches, and life lines.
Air conditioning is not currently working, and gauges are not working. Teak needs to be sanded. The hull needs to be buffed and waxed. Engine will not shut off with switch....you must turn it off by opening engine compartment and manually killing the power.
