This solid Columbia 10.7 (35’) is very roomy and easy to sail. The bimini, dodger and screened sides provide a shaded protected cockpit delivering a safe comfortable place to sail and entertain.

The clean and uncluttered deck is easy to move about. All lines and halyards leads back to the cockpit. The in boom full five batten mainsail, which is in excellent condition, is raised with the assistance of an electric power winch. The head sail, which is also in great condition,  is a 125% furling  genoa  sail and is easily handle.

When the in boom furler was installed the main sheet traveler was moved onto the cabin. This freed up space within the full cushioned cockpit.

The wheeled helm with the Garmin 3205 5” chartplotter, Autohelm 4000 auto pilot, Ricthie compass with back lighting, depth, wind, speed instrumentations and within hand reach built in VHF makes driving this vessel a dream.

This boat has been a live aboard for decades and has the creature comforts and amenities one would expect are on board: 12,000 BTU air conditioner with recycle heating, solar panels and wind generator along with shore power that recharge the 3 – 4D 200 watts house batteries, ( storing 600 watts) and 1 12Volt starter battery, direct TV and a special valve hook up system that bypasses the fresh water tank while at the dock.  

There is a two-propane burner oven fueled by two propane tanks, located in the aft lockers of the cockpit. The deep twin stainless steel sink, with water supplied by an electric pressure system or foot pump and counter makes food preparation and clean up easy.

All the cushions in the salon have been upgraded. The V berth and Quarter berth mattresses have been replaced with a 4” medium solid base foam and 2 “ of memory foam providing a very comfortable sleep.

The upgraded head is and electric Jabsco unit.

The ground tackle include a 35lbs. Delta with 200' of 3/8" chain raised and lower by a Maxell electrical windlass.

As you descend into the salon on the port side is the galley, which consists of the top loading refrigerator, two- burner propane oven, microwave and the twin deep stainless-steel sinks. Heading forward the salon settee with fold up table.   The passage way forward leads pass the head entrance and hanging closet to the V berth. Returning along the starboard side is a lounge bench with the 19” flat screen TV located over it. The chart table with the electrical panel is behind the bench with the Aft quarter berth.

The sails on this boat impressed me. I haven’t seen an in-boom furler work as smooth as this one. The hull, ports and hatches are tight. The standing and running rigging are in very good shape. The engine performed nicely. The cockpit and interior are roomy for a 35’. If you are looking for a live aboard or a weekend sailor – check this one out.
