Paceship P 32
Description
The Paceship 32 (also known as the Paceship 32 Tripp) is a classic Canadian-built coastal cruiser-racer from Paceship Yachts Ltd. (Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia), designed by renowned American naval architect Bill Tripp Jr. and produced from around 1968 to the early 1970s (limited numbers built before Paceship's transition and eventual acquisition by AMF around 1977). It's a solid, moderate-displacement fin-keel boat with skeg-hung rudder, emphasizing seaworthiness, balanced handling, and comfortable accommodations for weekend/coastal cruising or occasional longer passages.
