O'Day 32 Sloop
Description
The O'Day 32 is an American-built racer-cruiser sailboat designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates and first produced in 1981 by O'Day Corp. in Fall River, Massachusetts, as a versatile mid-sized evolution of the O'Day 30 with a center cockpit emphasizing enhanced interior volume, responsive handling for coastal cruising or club racing, and family-friendly accommodations with an average PHRF handicap around 147 signaling balanced performance. The O'Day 32 was produced through 1984 with around 200 units built before the yard's closure, enduring as an affordable, low-maintenance classic for sailors valuing Hunt's timeless lines, forgiving stability, and surprising spaciousness in a sub-33-foot package.
