Description: |
The Downeaster 32 is a traditionally styled long range cruiser ideal for couples. Through the years the boat has proven rugged and easy to sail.
In the 1970s when Downeast Yachts introduced their boats they evoked nostalgia and tradition. The Downeaster 32 keeps up the family traits with a long keel with a keel-hung rudder, clipper bow and a bowsprit, with the stern ending in a wineglass-shaped transom. Above deck, shes driven by cutter rig slung from a four foot bowsprit its a rig that has proven to be reliable.
Internal space is generous for a 32 foot boat with six and a half feet of headroom. She can sleep six with three berths in the saloon, a quarter-berth on the starboard aft, and v-berths forward.
Theres a u-shaped galley complete with gimballed stove, refrigeration and a double sink. Storage includes two well-ventilated hanging lockers and numerous cubbies.
Underway the Downeaster performs well. For novices shes forgiving to sail while sailors who know her well can eek out the full performance from her sail plan. Her full keel proves stable and comfortable in offshore conditions.
Moored in Panama city and was ready to cross the pacific before she went for sale.
Priced low for a quick sale. A great deal for a solid cruising boat. |
