One of the small boats announced in the 1965 the Columbia newsletter was the Columbia 14 - a 14 ft. self bailing day sailer. I received the following email and wonder if this could be a Columbia 14?
Dear Eric,
I've enjoyed reading the results of all your hard work researching Columbia sailboats. Is my Columbia 13 a 'lost Columbia'? She's 12'+,daggerboard,transom mtd rudder, fractional sloop,unsinkable(don't ask how I know),1972, hull id no. 1246.She was re- built after having a tree felled across her beam.I don't see a 13' in any of the literature on Columbias and get sidelong looks when I mention a 13' Columbia to the locals.Is she a Sailcrafter kit boat?
Thanks, Don Dixon Doubly Mad
