1983 Evelyn 32 "Habenero" Race Ready, Fully Refit $22,000
Turn-key racer/daysailer with brand-new carbon sails, updated electronics, and a roadworthy tandem trailer. Nothing left to do but splash it and race.
The Evelyn 32 is one of the best-kept secrets in PHRF racing a Bob Evelyn design with a fin keel, spade rudder, and a light, powerful hull that punches well above its rating (typically 93105 PHRF). Fast upwind, quick to plane off the breeze, and still comfortable enough below for the crew to overnight. Only 57 were built, and clean examples rarely come to market let alone one refit to this level.
Habenero has undergone an extensive multi-year refit and is genuinely ready for its next owner. Everything works.
