Columbia 10.7 Specifications


Manufactured by:

Columbia Sailing Yachts

Whittaker Corporation

This is a classic Alan Payne design and one of the Columbia "wide-body super cruisers". It debuted around 1976. It was first built by Whittaker at the Chesapeake plant, only. John Broughton's records show that Whittaker only built 66 copies. It appears that at least 180 copies were made and that production lasted at least through 1979.

The following specifications came from the original owners manual for Paul Esterele's 1978 Columbia 10.7.

An Owner Writes:

She (Insolvent) was the next to last hull built in the South Norfolk Plant. She was purchased on the assembly line and not 100% finished when the plant closed down. Due to an overzealous plant worker who forgot to close the seacocks she sank within 6 hours of being in the water. She would have sank further than one foot of water in the cabin but her keel stuck in the mud of the shallow slip. Needless to the say, the intial purchase price was renegotiated. She was dried and has been sailing ever since.

Thanks,

David Taylor
