About the COMFORTINA 42
The Comfortina 42 is a fractional sloop designed by Thomas Bern and built by Comfortbåtar AB, with production records indicating a build year of 1998. With a displacement of 20282.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 27.38, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping, though the exact total hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable platform for moderate offshore passages, given its high comfort ratio and substantial displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.86 and a displacement of 20282.0 lb, the Comfortina 42 demonstrates strong offshore suitability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-1990s European cruising yachts with similar displacement and fractional rigs, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 42 or Beneteau 423, due to shared emphasis on interior volume and offshore capability.
