Window on Cyprus Marine section
Proudly Presents

One of the finest blue water yachts of her size afloat,
The Classic Columbia 57  " MAGIC "

And she is.

Built in 1969 she has been lovingly maintained throughout her life,
She has a huge inventory including water maker, diesel generator, ssb
etc and has a vast quantity of spares, even unto 2 spare propellers

Most impressive is the condition of the vessel, owned and maintained by a perfectionist
who has stinted on nothing. The modest  price of $220,000 bears no reflection on her
condition and equipment, and prospective owners will be subject to scrutiny..NO DEALERS

A full survey was done and completed on 26.06.98, words like 'prime condition' sum her up.
