The Hughes Columbia 39 is a classic center-cockpit cruising sailboat combining substantial construction, comfortable accommodations and a practical layout well suited for coastal cruising, extended passagemaking or liveaboard use.
Built by Hughes Boat Works in Ontario, Canada, the Hughes Columbia 39 features a solid fiberglass displacement hull, approximately 18,500-pound displacement and a protected center cockpit that provides good visibility underway while creating excellent separation between the vessel’s living spaces.
Her 12-foot beam provides generous interior volume for a 39-foot sailing yacht, with a traditional cruising interior offering ample room for extended time aboard. The center-cockpit arrangement also provides the privacy and versatility that has made this style of yacht popular among long-range cruisers and liveaboards.
With her substantial displacement, deep 6-foot draft and traditional sailing profile, the Hughes Columbia 39 offers the feel and construction of a classic cruising yacht while remaining manageable for a cruising couple or small crew.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking for an affordable, capable cruising platform with the space and layout of a considerably larger vessel.
*** Sadly the owner of this vessel suddenly passed away and she needs to be sold as soon as possible. This vessel will sell for less than the cost of the new yanmar 57 HP. Vessel has many recent upgrades including a new yanmar 57, new bimini, dodger, sails, mainsail cover, xantrex inverter charger, some running rigging and a recent bottom job. The standing rigging also appears to have been upgraded recently. Not much else is known about the vessel.***
