Hi,
I can buy an owners manual for our Columbia 22 from the US for $60US posted (why they don't send PDF's I'm not sure). My question, is it worth getting? As I don't know what is in it it's hard to know. As ours was built in Oz, would there be significant differences?
Is there another source?
Regards,
Tim
In a word probably The Aust. Columbia 22 I believe is based on the Coronado 23 .
I had built a Columbia 27 back in the seventies and they were also based on the Coronado boats. BTW there was/is no manual.
Try contacting International Marine in Melbourne and ask them. They built them alongside the Bertram boats .
Hood sails Melbourne loft supplied all the sails . Manager was Col. Anderson.
If all else fails try St. Kilda marina they were connected to International Marine and the Columbia yacht club of Australia was based there
