For Sale: 1978 Columbia 8.7

[GOB]

Location: Kenosha, WI
Price: $10,000

A very well maintained "Good Old Boat". We have sailed her for 16 seasons in the sometimes challenging waters of Lake Michigan. She was our first sailboat and we chose her because of her classic exterior design and the roomy cabin provided by the 10' beam down below. Our 6'+ sons can comfortably stand in the cabin. The roomy v-berth and enclosed head contribut to the comfort factor. Her classic modified keel design leads to a very comfortable sail with little heel. We have enjoyed our time with this classic yacht. We store her on a boat trailer which is also available for sale but not included in this listing.
