Harvest Moon is an exceptionally restored 1964 Columbia 40, designed by Charles Morgan and celebrated for her balance, grace, and offshore pedigree. Painstakingly refit to the highest standards, she combines timeless beauty with modern reliability. Her warm teak interior, upgraded Yanmar diesel, new B&G electronics, and renewed rigging make her as capable as she is elegant — a rare classic yacht refined for today’s sailor.
Originally launched as Kimo, Harvest Moon has been extensively customized and finished to exceptional standards, featuring exquisite teak joinery, teak-and-holly soles, and fine craftsmanship throughout. Her solid fiberglass hull and deck construction remain in excellent condition, complemented by modernized systems, thoughtfully updated equipment, and an impressive list of recent upgrades. The result is a one-of-a-kind Columbia 40 that is as seaworthy as she is beautiful.
Warm and inviting, the cabin features handcrafted teak joinery, custom wood inlays, and excellent ventilation through stainless opening ports and hatches. The layout sleeps up to six in a quarter berth, salon settees, and a forward stateroom. The enclosed head is fitted with a Vacuflush freshwater toilet, vanity sink, and shower wand.
