Rafiki 37
8 / 38 - score 59%
The Rafiki 37 is a 36.75ft cutter designed by Stan Huntingford and built in fiberglass by Lien Hwa Industrial Corp. since 1975.
55 units have been built.
The Rafiki 37 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
