COMPIS 97

About the COMPIS 97

Designed by Bernt Andersson and built by Comfortbåtar AB/Norrland Plastics from 1979–1985, the Compis 97 is a robust fractional sloop with a displacement of 7937.0 lb and a beam of 10.14 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unknown, the fleet is characterized by a heavy build with a D/L ratio of 292.36, reflecting its origins as a serious cruising platform.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize stability and comfort over pure speed, evidenced by a Comfort ratio of 21.91 and a low Capsize ratio of 2.04. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a safe, heavy-displacement vessel for extended passages.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 7937.0 lb and a Capsize ratio of 2.04, the Compis 97 is inherently stable and well-suited for offshore passages, provided critical structural components like the deck core and keel are sound.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 32 and the Nautor's Swan 36, as they share similar heavy displacement, fractional sloop rigs, and a focus on bluewater safety over planing performance. The Compis 97's 31.69 ft LOA places it in the same size class as the Tartan 31 and O'Day 32, though with a distinctly heavier build.
