Bob,
If you do nothing else, join the columbia group at
It's an extremely active site with over 50 postings (and sometimes over 100) a day.
Any question you have, they'll provide an answer (including the closest Columbia owner coming over to personally help you)
Be prepared to state her bona fidas though!

Subject: RE: [world-cruising] coastal cruisers..
I bought a 1966 Columbia 29 to be sailed as a coastal cruiser, but have
hopes to do more. She is a good, strong boat - smaller, but I've been told
it's really not the "size" of the boat that matters, it is how it is rigged
and maintained. Being on a limited budget, I decided to go for a older,
sound boat and have more money for cruising as opposed to paying for it as
it's tied to the dock. Did I receive good advice? I don't know - but I was
steered away from Hunter and Catalina by so many for what I intend to do
with the boat. She's a beautiful liveaboard...cramped but cozy. :-)

Ahoy Bess;
Steve Honour is correct in everything he states. However sailboats are
compromises, Would I sail around the world in a Hunter? I might. Would I
do it in a Morgan? sure.
There are people that would not leave the dock without every electronic
gadget made. They would then think, anybody that did do the above would be
foolish.
O/I's with their huge cabins are just the thing for live aboard. They can
be modified inside with all kinds of storage. We put a new thru-hull in one
here at the marina and the hull was over an inch thick. They don;t like
going to windward, but love running downwind
Over all the Morgans seem to be alot of bang for the buck.
