COLUMBIA

W. Starling Burgess' design principles shape every angle of this 43-meter sailing yacht, where Eastern Shipbuilding's 2014 construction honors the legendary naval architect's pursuit of performance married to elegance. COLUMBIA carries herself with the confident bearing of a thoroughbred, her 7.8-meter beam providing the stability that transforms ocean passages into graceful conversations with wind and current rather than battles against them. Twelve guests find themselves immersed in a sailing experience that prioritizes the pure connection between vessel, crew, and sea. The yacht's proportions create intimate gathering spaces where conversation flows as naturally as the breeze across her decks, while her six-person crew orchestrates each detail with the quiet precision that defines serious sailing. Whether anchored in a protected cove or reaching across open water, COLUMBIA delivers the rare satisfaction of movement powered by wind alone, her design philosophy evident in how effortlessly she translates weather into forward motion.
