I have rencently purchased a 8.7. meter Columbia sailboat which comes to approx. 28'2". It has a full batten Mainsail and boom yet there is no mast or step. There is no running rigging with the boat. It appears to be quite different than the 28' Columbia sailboat that's the popular model nationwide. I was wondering if there were someone out there that has information or a similar model Columbia that could tell a little about the specifications of this boat. Most importantly, the mast size, rigging Jib, Jennys' the usual and customary questions a new boat owner might have. Thank you all for your continued support and friendly boater attitude.
