1970 Columbia Yacht 43' - SOLD

The light displacement of the Columbia 43 affords considerable speed and agility, whilst the roomy, comfortable interior make Itaca the ideal sailboat for full-time liveaboard blue water sailors. 

Itaca's 10' cushioned cockpit offers ample space for the helmsman and numerous guests beneath a solid frame Sunbrella shade cloth, whilst a solid fibreglass bimini shields the companionway further forward. 

The multilevel sky-lit saloon features a "U" shaped dining area with central table across from a spacious, open-style port side galley. Bunk berths and a long settee in the forward, lower tier of the saloon offer comfortable living space as well as ample stowage. 

The wide V berth in the main bow cabin is lined with neat, varnished dark wood shelving and cabinets, breezy and well lit beneath a sizeable overhead hatch. 

A proven, swift passage maker this much-loved cruising home now awaits new owners and new adventures.

Inspection by appointment with YBC.
