Boat Details

Description

Ragtime is a Union 32 designed by Ted Brewer and built to the highest standards for rigorous offshore sailing. A double ender build in Taipei Taiwan with amazing craftsmanship and a liberal use of teak. Below decks is warm and inviting with the business end above deck being sensible and easy to handle, designed for safety at sea. This vessel was marketed as the EO Union 32, heavily built but keeping her draft and displacement in the range to be enjoyed on inshore waters typical along the US East Coast and Bahamas.

The current owner has enjoyed Ragtime for 16 years. The previous owner had her for 24 years in the Newport Rhode Island area. She is a two owner boat!

She has the Brewer cut keel, a modified full keel design and you can tell when boarding, she is solid and stiff.
