About the COMFORTINA 32
Designed by Ingemar Boding and built by Comfortbåtar AB from 1982–1998, the Comfortina 32 is a robust fractional sloop with 860 hulls produced. Its heavy displacement of 9900.0 lb and high comfort ratio of 24.43 reflect a design prioritizing stability and seakeeping over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable platform for extended weekend trips or moderate offshore passages, particularly those who value a spacious interior and proven durability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 9900.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 2.0, and a fin keel, the Comfortina 32 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering excellent stability and a proven track record for offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 32 and the Nauticat 32, as they share similar heavy-displacement characteristics, fractional sloop rigs, and a reputation for solid construction and offshore capability from the same era.
