Beautiful Sailing Vessel In Very Good Condition, Very Loved And Well Maintained!

This 1977 Rafiki 37 designed by Stan Huntingford is a solidly built bluewater boat that is currently in inside storage in Bay City Michigan.

The sellers have owned the boat since 1999 and have used it only on the great lakes since then. The boat has been on the hard for 5 years and if the seller was not 75 years old, he says they'd be launching the boat this spring and going sailing!!

There are a few condition issues, but the sellers have had only a couple minor nuisance leaks. The starboard engine support is moist, though no issues were ever observed when operating the engine.

The teak deck on the bow has been rebunged (275 screws), the starboard side deck has been done and the port side needs to be done. The sellers have never felt any sponginess or flexing over their 24 years of ownership.

Engine was last run in 2020, the fuel in the tank should be replaced (45gallons). Aside from the items above the sellers have made some terrific upgrades in the last 8 years.

A New Harken roller furler was installed in ~2017, with a new headstay and genoa. The main is in good shape. A new dodger and bimini were installed in 2018.

The headstay was replaced with the new furler was installed, All other standing rigging is original. . Running rigging is in good shape.
