Schooner "Columbia"

(photo by: W.R. MacAskill 1923)

The Schooner Columbia is best known for her controversial race against the
The Queen of the North Atlantic "The Bluenose" in 1923.

The "Columbia" was officially measured on October 27th, 1923 just before her race with the "Bluenose" by Raymond J. Milgate, a marine surveyor of Halifax, N.S. Her measurements are as follows:- racing length...141.2 feet, load waterline...110.0 feet, beam...25.5 feet, draft @ 110.0 LWL ranged from 15.4 to 15.7 feet. Sail area as shown:- 10,290 square feet. Note:- "Columbia's" racing length was taken from the after edge of the main rail cap at the stern to the junction of face of the stem and underside of the bowsprit.

The detailed drawings for this fine schooner are drawn at the 3/16" = 1' scale
giving you a model of approximately 33" in length, which is
quite suitable for display in your home or at the office.

Below are scans of  two of the eight sheets that comprise this set which was
drawn for building a Plank on Bulkhead model.

These plans are the result of over three years of research.
