:I have a Rafiki 37, and although I have yet to put it to the "test" re blue-water cruising. I have sailed it extensively in the Puget Sound
area,a few times in some pretty snotty weather conditions out in the straight of Juan De Fuca, and can say that the boat can/will take you anywhere, and through anything mother nature can come up with. I paid $78,000 for mine less than two years ago...although mine is loaded with electronics and other goodies. It has a single side band, lap-top for weather faxes and chart plotting, two color chart plotters, radar, plus all the usual wind, depth, and speed instruments...plus a forced air furnace, diesel heater, refrigeration, lots of sails including a cruising chute, tv's and vcr's, stereo system, two auto-helms, etc, etc, etc, etc. I'm planning on replacing the manual windlass with an electronic one, and am contemplating removing the teak decks.........otherwise it's perfect in just about every way.
