Stratus 36 Albin

Built by Sweden's Albin Marine from 1980 to 1984, this Peter Norlin-designed cruiser represents solid Scandinavian engineering with a focus on seaworthiness and comfort. With 130 hulls produced during its four-year run, the Stratus 36 developed a reputation as a capable coastal and offshore cruising sailboat that balances performance with livability. Norlin's design features a modern fin keel with spade rudder configuration that provides good handling characteristics, while the fractional sloop rig offers versatility in varying wind conditions. The boat's moderate displacement of 11,466 pounds, coupled with substantial ballast of 4,960 pounds, creates a stable platform that inspires confidence in challenging conditions. A comfort ratio of 25.05 indicates this yacht leans toward the performance end of the cruising spectrum without sacrificing seaworthiness. The hull's proportions, with a waterline length of 27.24 feet supporting the 35.17-foot overall length, provide a good balance of interior volume and sailing efficiency. Her SA/Displacement ratio of 17.84 suggests moderate power that won't overwhelm novice sailors while still delivering respectable performance. The Swedish build quality, combined with fiberglass construction, has helped many examples maintain their value and structural integrity decades after launch.
