Sadler 32

Built by Sadler Yachts in the UK from 1979 to 1989, this 31.50-foot sailboat represents solid British yacht design from the early 1980s cruising boom. Designer David Sadler created a well-balanced coastal cruiser with a moderate fin keel and skeg-hung rudder configuration that offers good directional stability while maintaining reasonable performance. With a displacement of 9,500 pounds and 4,200 pounds of ballast, the Sadler 32 strikes a practical balance between seaworthiness and sailing ability. The masthead sloop rig carries 423 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power for coastal passages without being overly demanding for a small crew. Her beam of 10.50 feet creates comfortable interior volume while maintaining attractive proportions. The boat's comfort ratio of 24.41 and capsize screening formula of 1.99 indicate she's well-suited for coastal cruising and short offshore passages, with good motion characteristics in moderate seas. Her fin-and-skeg underbody provides predictable handling and reasonable upwind performance, making her an excellent choice for weekend cruising and coastal exploration. With 300 hulls built during her decade-long production run, the Sadler 32 earned a reputation as a dependable, well-constructed cruiser that offers good value in today's used boat market.
