Fiberglass/Reinforced
The Sandpiper 32 Sharpie was inspired by Bill Munroeââ¬â¢s Sharpie designs, built to be single handedly sailed in shallow water. Her Cat Ketch rig and wish bone booms, combined with rotating masts, allow you to set sail or reduce it by simply rolling the twin sails out or in. The two sails are self tending; combined with the auto pilot make it an easily sailed boat for one person. The twin bilge boards are hidden under the aft berths, so there is no centerboard trunk to get in the way. The boards up allow you to float in an incredible 20 inches of water. That means quiet anchorages. Boards down are over 5 feet giving you a good bite upwind. New as of August 2016: Anderson self tailing winches, charging ports for cell phones and devices, 14W solar panel for battery charging, Raymarine autopilot and new depth gauge. Please call for an appointment to see her.
