Designed by renowned naval architect Ted Brewer and built by E.O. Taiwan Enterprise starting in 1979, this 32-foot cutter represents solid traditional cruising design principles from the late 1970s era. The fiberglass construction features a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration, providing good directional stability while maintaining reasonable performance under sail. With a displacement of 11,500 pounds and 4,400 pounds of ballast, this boat offers the substantial feel that characterizes Brewer's work. The generous beam of nearly 11 feet creates spacious accommodations below, while the moderate draft of just under 5 feet opens up more cruising grounds than deeper-draft alternatives. The cutter rig with 512 square feet of sail area provides versatility for various wind conditions, allowing sailors to balance performance with ease of handling. The boat's comfort ratio of 26.02 indicates motion characteristics well-suited for coastal cruising and short offshore passages, while the capsize screening value of 1.92 suggests reasonable stability for ocean work. Ted Brewer's reputation for creating seaworthy, well-balanced designs shines through in this practical cruiser that prioritizes comfort and safety over racing performance, making it an appealing choice for cruising couples or small families.
