Traveller 32

Designed by the renowned Philip Rhodes and built by Tachiao/Rawson beginning in 1970, this classic 32-footer represents traditional cruising yacht design at its finest. With only 29 hulls produced, the Traveller 32 remains a relatively rare find that appeals to sailors seeking proven offshore capability in a manageable size. The yacht's long keel configuration with transom-hung rudder provides exceptional directional stability and seaworthiness, making it well-suited for coastal and offshore cruising. At 14,200 pounds displacement with 5,300 pounds of ballast, she offers the substantial feel and motion comfort that serious cruisers appreciate in challenging conditions. The impressive comfort ratio of 35.01 confirms this boat's suitability for extended passages. Rhodes equipped the design with a versatile cutter rig spreading 581 square feet of sail area, allowing for flexible sail combinations in varying wind conditions. The hull's 27-foot waterline generates a theoretical hull speed approaching 7 knots, while the conservative sail area-to-displacement ratio of 15.91 emphasizes seakindliness over racing performance. Built during an era when fiberglass construction was maturing, these yachts exhibit solid engineering principles that have stood the test of time, making them sought-after vessels for discriminating cruising sailors.
