About the COMFORT 32
Designed by Kenneth Albinsson and built by Comfortbåtar AB from 1977–1982, the Comfort 32 is a robust cruising sloop with 308 hulls produced. Its substantial displacement of 10141.0 lb and high comfort ratio of 25.03 reflect a design prioritizing stability and seakeeping over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who value a solid, motion-dampened ride and are willing to perform diligent maintenance on aging structural components. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a reliable, heavy-displacement vessel for extended passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 10141.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.99, and a fin keel, the Comfort 32 is well-regarded for bluewater cruising due to its inherent stability and proven offshore pedigree.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 32 and the Tartan 32, which share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and cruising-oriented layouts from the late 1970s. These vessels offer similar beam and draft profiles, appealing to buyers seeking proven offshore capability.
