Bill Tripp Jr. designed the Columbia 45 to be a center-cockpit motor-sailor, but she’s more like a modern deck saloon before her time. From 1971 to 1976, Columbia yachts built a total of 180 Columbia 45s. Many have crossed oceans and they make great live-aboards for coastal cruising and island hopping.

The motor-sailor is the perfect way to get around to all our islands in the Pacific Northwest.
6’9″ headroom in main salon and over 6′ everywhere else.
Comfortable Queen size aft cabin with 1/4 bath and forward a cozy queen v-berth with 1/4 bath liveaboard.
Very good heat for chilly NW weather.
Very heavy blue water hull with a shoal draft keel (5′) perfect for NW waters. Owner built hardtop is easily removable but very practical for the great north wet.
Perkins 4-236 65 hp for plenty of power in our tides.
Best value is as liveaboard in legal liveaboard moorage for up to one year after outright sale but this boat can sail ANYWHERE !
Partnership possible to buyer with experience sailing and maintaining vessels.
Good financing option available to good credit. Yes, you can live aboard with good downpayment.
Enjoy the most beautiful sunsets and beaches from the greatest neighborhood in Seattle. 5 min walk to Golden Gardens, 15 min to Ballard fun and located at the end of the Burke Gilman Trail !
Although this boat has sailed through the Panama canal, the South Pacific and Alaska, she is a beautiful legal floating home with a million dollar view !
This is currently the ONLY real affordable alternative to Seattle rents.
Delivery to any seaport available.
