37' Rafiki 37 Cutter

99,000

Last Updated: 2024-03-20

SARAHBELLA is a totally refit Rafiki 37.  This well respected Huntingford design, also known as the Slocum 37, was built to very high standards and equipped for safe bluewater passagemaking or comfortable coastal cruising. The Rafiki 37 is a bulletproof, heavy displacement, full keeled, canoe stern-ed, tiller steered, cutter rigged blue water sailboat.

This owner's plans have changed, so now is your chance to acquire this blue water capable yacht. If you have the desire to live aboard, this yacht will satisfy that desire with the large berth (not a "V"), 6'6" headroom, diesel heater, the large cockpit and huge settee make for elegant entertaining.  Many opening ports with two new Lewmar hatches and a teak and holly sole make SARAHBELLA a warm and charming yacht.
