About the COLUMBIA 34 MK II CB
See COLUMBIA 34 MK II for more information.
The Columbia 34 Mk II CB is a classic cruising sloop designed by William Tripp Sr. and built by Columbia Yachts (USA) between 1970 and 1975. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, this model is defined by its robust construction and traditional design ethos.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for relaxed sailing, given its high comfort ratio of 31.52 and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 15.28.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 13000.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.7, and a full keel design, the Columbia 34 Mk II CB is inherently stable and capable of offshore passages, though its heavy displacement suggests it is better suited for moderate offshore cruising rather than high-speed bluewater racing.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Cal 34 and O'Day 36, as they share similar displacement ranges, beam widths, and a focus on interior volume and cruising comfort over pure racing performance.
