Stefini 38

[Milano]

Is there anybody with the experience about the boats: Stefini 38 or 36? I need any information regarding the sailing performances of the sloop version. Many thanks in advance, Milan

I have seen one 36 on dry in Gelves and on on dry in Lanzarote. I have not seen them sailing. They look very voluminous. The one in Gelves had an alignment problem.

I bet they were built somewhere in the Med as I have never seen them elsewhere.

If we are thinking about the same boat, then these are not hulls that you want to sail upwind in heavy weather.

Thank you B.,
Yes, Stefini 36 is an Italian boat, designed by Mauro Stefini and made by RPD ("Reinforced Plastic Development") some 40-30 years ago. They are very comfortable, but I don't have any information about how they sail.

I am not 100% sure they are built for performance. It looks like the design target was a spacious liveaboard.
