Launched approximately 1985, the Columbia features double diagonal timber glassed construction and was designed by Frank Pelin, reportedly built by Colin Bertelsen. Known for its spacious and capable design, the Columbia features a comfortable interior, a generous flybridge with clears and hard top. The roomy cockpit is perfect for fishing trips or extended cruising with family and friends and has an enviable record in the game fishing world with excellent catches.
Built for stability and efficiency, the Pelin Columbia offers a secure and dry ride, even in rougher conditions. The craftsmanship from its Tauranga origin is evident throughout, making this more than just a boat; it's a testament to classic Kiwi boatbuilding traditions.
The vessel underwent an anti-foul stripping and repainting approximately 5 years ago, with a hull repaint performed a few years earlier. The mature current owner is reluctantly putting his beloved vessel on the market.
