Comfortina 38

Sailing yacht built in 1988

Sturdy, elegant and fast cruiser built by the quality shipyard Comfortbåtar Marine AB in Arvika in southern Sweden. With over 150 units built in twelve years, the Comfortina 38 was a great success for the yard. Excellent performance thanks to her slim hull and powerful high rig. Despite her narrow beam of just 3.50 metres, the Comfortina 38 offers plenty of room and comfort and ample storage space both on and below decks. The interior is beautifully finished in teak with lots of solid wood and carefully crafted details. 2-cabin layout with owner's cabin forward, L-shaped galley, spacious heads compartment and large cockpit locker to starboard aft.

Fully equipped, well maintained owner's yacht offered by her second owner. The Comfortina 38 has been fitted with 280 kg of extra ballast (standard lead keel: approx. 2.400 kg), making her a very stiff sailing yacht. Numerous investments in recent years, such as a new mainsail and genoa in sandwich laminate, lithium service batteries with charging technology, new canvas covers, new ANDERSEN winches, new swim platform, new B&G instruments and chart plotter, etc. Version with steering wheel and upgraded VOLVO PENTA 40 hp inboard diesel.
