Excel 32

Designed by Jan Becker and built by Excel Yachts in Sweden starting in 1991, this 32-footer represents solid Scandinavian craftsmanship aimed at the performance cruising market. The fiberglass construction features a modern fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration that delivers excellent sailing characteristics while maintaining reasonable draft for coastal exploration. With a displacement of 7,937 pounds and substantial ballast of 3,638 pounds, the Excel 32 strikes a favorable balance between stability and performance. The masthead sloop rig carries 470 square feet of sail area, producing a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 18.96 that places it firmly in performance cruising territory—responsive enough for spirited sailing yet manageable for shorthanded crews. The comfort ratio of 18.14 indicates a relatively firm motion at sea, while the capsize screening value of 2.2 falls within acceptable parameters for coastal and offshore passages. Her 26.25-foot waterline length generates a theoretical hull speed of 6.87 knots, though the efficient underbody design likely allows for higher speeds in favorable conditions. This Swedish-built sailboat appeals to sailors seeking a well-built vessel capable of both weekend coastal cruising and longer passages, backed by the reputation for quality that Scandinavian builders established during this era.
