Vindo 32

Swedish designer Carl Andersson created this solid cruising sailboat in 1976, with production handled by Nötesund Varv Ab. Built with traditional long keel configuration and masthead sloop rigging, the Vindo 32 exemplifies Scandinavian design philosophy emphasizing seaworthiness and comfort over speed. At just under 30 feet overall with a displacement of 8,700 pounds, this fiberglass yacht carries substantial ballast of 3,525 pounds in her long keel, contributing to excellent stability and tracking ability. The generous beam of 9 feet provides comfortable interior volume while maintaining reasonable draft at 4.6 feet for accessing most harbors. With a comfort ratio of 29.21 and capsize screening formula of 1.75, the Vindo 32 demonstrates conservative design values well-suited for coastal cruising and extended passages. Her moderate sail area of 379 square feet and SA/Displacement ratio of 14.38 indicate steady rather than spirited performance, making her an ideal choice for cruising couples seeking reliability over racing prowess. The long keel configuration provides excellent directional stability and forgiveness in heavy weather, though at the expense of maneuverability in tight quarters. A modest 10-horsepower auxiliary engine provides adequate power for harbor work and calm conditions, reflecting the era's emphasis on sailing capability over motoring performance.
