columbia 36\' 1969

Hi every one, I want to by a cheep sail boat and I came across the Columbia 36 1969 and I thought it might fit the bill in what basic commodity I want in a cruising boat. Now my question is, judging by the price that this boat has in the market. Is it any good to go cruising around the world? Is it strong enough in storms conditions? Doe’s it sail, reasonable well in all point of sail?
My dream is to go cruising south from Ontario Canada, down the Atlantic coast to Usuhaia Argentina, through Magellan strait to Chile.
North to the Galapagos Is. And the south Pacific islands from there would be the usual route back to North America.
Thank you, for your responses
