Columbia Sabre

This sleek one-design racing sloop and daysailor was designed for the most discriminating yachtsman who loves the combinatio of top performance and beautiful sailboat design. By taking Sigurd Herburn's original 5.5 meter hull design "Carina" and adding International 5.5 World Champion George O'Day's "Minotaur," Columbia naval engineers created the Columbia 5.5. Molded in fiberglass we have created one of the most sophisticated racing yachts in this country at less than one-half of what an "Open 5.5" would cost. A real "One-Design" that performs with the same speed and characteristics as "The International 5.5."
