Columbia 40 (original) (raw)

The Columbia 40 is an American sailboat that was designed by Charles Morgan as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1964. The design was based upon Morgan's Sabre, a one-off racing boat that was successful in competition, winning Class C 1964 (SORC) and second place overall. Sabre was derived from the racing ketch Paper Tiger which was the overall winner of the 1961 and 1962 SORC racing series.
