About the COMPIS 36
Originally the BEASON 36. MAMBA 36 is similar.
Designed by Bernt Andersson and built by Comfortbåtar AB (SWE) between 1981–1983, the Compis 36 is a robust fractional sloop with 120 hulls produced. Its heavy displacement of 12346.0 lb and high comfort ratio of 25.27 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 trips, given its high D/L ratio of 182.0 and moderate SA/D ratio of 17.55.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.83 and substantial ballast of 5401.4 lb, the Compis 36 is well-suited for offshore passages, though potential structural issues in the keel and deck require careful verification.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other heavy-displacement Scandinavian designs from the early 1980s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 36 or Nautor's Swan 36, due to similar build quality, fractional rigging, and focus on offshore capability.
