The engine is a Yanmar 15hp. The interior is Teak with green cushions. Comfortably sleeps 5. Kitchen, Nav Station, Private Head with Nature's Own Composting toilet - really nice. Extras include VHF radio, maps, Garmin, swim ladder, new life jackets, and lots more. Winter storage has been on dry land using Jack Stands and shrinkwrap covering. Priced for a simple sail $13,000 OBO.

Designed by Ted Gozzard and hand-crafted in Ontario, Canada by Bayfield Boat Yards, the 32s are known for their sturdy construction, traditional, elegant design and their nice motion in a seaway. That's what makes them popular with families, friends and solo sailors. The cockpit is well laid out and plenty big for 4 adults to sit comfortably and be well supported when the boat heels. The interior is nicely finished in teak and all new cushions. The galley is pretty impressive on the starboard side with a stove, sink, top-loading icebox and ample counter space. There is a fold-down Nav station and quarterberth opposite. The saloon has two facing settees, both adequate berths and the seat backs fold up, making the settees wider and better for sleeping. A handsome teak table with foldouts, allows a place at the table for the entire crew. Forward is the Head, locker space and V-berth that can be closed off for privacy. The engine is a 2 cylinder Yanmar 15Hp in good condition. These small diesels have proved to be incredibly durable and problem-free. Plenty of 32s have completed ocean passages, and its a good choice for a Caribbean or Bahamas cruise. This sturdy, handsome, quality cruiser is an ideal family boat that will provide drama-free sailing for years to come. Many owner extras included.
