Boat Details

Description

New on the Market!

 If you are looking for a turnkey, easy to solo cruiser, this is your boat!

This vintage, solid fiberglass 32' Cruiser is a very comfortable year round live-aboard. Packed with upgrades often not found in a boat this age, you don’t want to miss this opportunity! 

“Rubigale” sports brand new bottom paint done February 2025. Routine bottom wipes and zinc changes have been done every 4-6 months. A Lewmar electric windlass with 100' G43 chain and 200' 3 strand line with markers every 30' were added in 2023.  A 25# Mantus is the main anchor and a Danforth is in the lazarette.  All standing and running rigging and stainless lifelines are 6 years old.  She comes with a symmetrical spinnaker with pole. The dodger surround canvas is 2 years old and Lewmar self tailing jib winches were added to the cockpit last year. 

 A two year old custom V berth mattress provides maximum sleeping comfort.  The salon and cockpit cushions have also been updated.  Autopilot, three AGM batteries, and a Dickenson Newport diesel heater will get you where you are going and keep you safe and warm at anchor. Outlets are new, including 2 GFCIs and extra USBs and 12V outlets have been added. The galley has a Princess 3 burner stove and oven and a front loading NovoKool refrigerator.  Large cabin windows let in tons of natural light and have newer custom cordless blinds.  Headroom in the salon is 6’2” and the generous U shaped settee seats 8! The table converts to a large queen bed for guests. 

There are 2 hanging lockers (one with removable shelves), a single quarter berth, a locker under the navigation table and drawers under the starboard settee all add a surprising amount of storage space to this cozy gem.  The 32 gallon holding tank and 6 gallon hot water heater/tank are new, and all fresh water hoses were replaced November 2024. 

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or first time boat buyer this charmer offers everything you need for fun and worry free cruising!
