1979 Columbie 86 LOA 8.6 m, B max 3.1 m, disp 3.7 ton, 17 produced.
1981 Columbie 451 LOA 13.8 m, B max 4.5 m disp 17.0 ton, 55 produced.
Birth of Columbie 491
During the years 2007-2011, the family sailed chartered boats 36-50 ft two to three weeks every year in Croatia. From the first trip I was dissatisfied with the design of the chartered boat. My youngest son said: “Why don`t you design the perfect boat then, you know how to do that”. He inspired me to make some drawings.
During the past five years I have made a lot of sketches, of yachts from 48 up to 57 ft and with up to nine cabins and a total of 22 berths, which may be suitable for a school ship. But after having 10 persons on-board a 50 ft yacht, there were always two too many around the dining table.
The resulting design consists of four main cabins, quite large with double beds. Most sailors prefer to captain the boat themselves, but if desired, they may wish to hire a chef, skipper or an extra hand. Consequently, there are three extra cabins available for crew accommodation.

Kære Peter. Jeg er den lykkelige ejer af en Columbie 451 fra 1986 byggenummer 44. Sagen kort . Jeg har en ny motor installeret med ny aksel, skrue, phyton drive og Black Jack. Når jeg kommer op på 1300-1400 omdrejninger er der en mislyd af metallisk klag, højst sandsynligt fra området omkring stævnrøret. Jeg har en mistanke om, at min aksel støder på den nederst kant af stævnrøret, da der højst er 1,5 mm frigang. Stævnrøret er konisk. Mine spørgsmål lyder som følgende:
1)Skal der sidde et støtteleje i stævnrøret?
2) kan jeg skærer ca.10-15 cm af stævnrøret, for at give akslen noget mere plads?
3) Hvis jeg ikke skærer af stævnrøret, kan stævnrøret da bærer at man sætter et støtteleje ond i det?
Ved at mine spørgsmål er meget tekniske omkring motorinstallation og har fuld forståelse, såfremt du ikke kan svare. På forhånd tak. Vh “S/Y Bifrost “
