The Columbia 32 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,450 lb (4,286 kg) and carries 4,040 lb (1,833 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The boat is fitted with a gasoline inboard motor, driving a two-bladed bronze propeller, for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal).[1][6]
Below decks the design has a main salon featuring a folding, drop-down table with two settees that can be converted into upper and lower pilot berths. The galley has a 75 lb (34 kg) capacity icebox and a stainless steel sink. The head is fully enclosed.[6]
