1978 Rafiki 35 Sloop
Broker’s Comment: This is a much-loved cruising sailboat designed by Stan Huntingford. Laid down with heavy fiberglass in Taiwan in 1978 by Lien Hwa, it features quality construction that many feel has long since been lost to mass-produced boats. 32 Rafiki 35’s were built. Graceful traditional lines and quality teak joinery make her a thing of beauty.
The boat was equipped for cruising and has many upgrades. Those include: Si Tex SNS-700i Chart plotter (2014), TackTick Knot, Depth & Wind, Battery Charger (2014), 3 batteries (2014), Sails Refurbished (2013), Lazy Jacks in 2013, new cockpit cushions (2013), New VHF w/DSC (2013), new fuel tank (2013), Air conditioning installed (2015), Refrigeration (2015), and Harken Mainsheet Blocks (2013).
