About the COMFORTINA 36
The Comfortina 36 is a Swedish-built cruising sloop designed by Rolf Magnusson and constructed by Comfortbåtar AB. Production records indicate the model was built in 1985, with the total number of hulls built remaining unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-performance racing metrics. Its fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio make it manageable for short-handed crews.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 9920.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.83, the Comfortina 36 exhibits a heavy, stable hull form suitable for offshore passages. Its fin keel and moderate draft of 5.74 ft provide adequate performance and grounding clearance for coastal and nearshore bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other mid-1980s European cruising sloops with similar displacement and beam, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 36 or Nautor's Swan 36. These boats share a similar design philosophy focused on seaworthiness and interior volume rather than speed.
