The aft-cabin, center cockpit O'Day 32 was designed strictly for comfortable cruising but the designers, C. Raymond Hunt Associates also wanted to give the boat the ability to sail to windward with ease. Both goals were accomplished and the boat became a huge success.
Her keel/centerboard design makes her very versatile. She's a great gunkhole cruiser for the whole family, drawing only 3'4" with the centerboard raised. When you want performance to windward, simply lower the board from inside the cockpit. Her 7'1" draft makes her drive through the seas with command.
She has an enormous cockpit amidships for relaxed sailing and sunning and many an evening's party. Her accommodations include a private aft stateroom. Large double berth, vanity and hanging locker. Headroom is 6'1". The main cabin sleeps four more, in two separate compartments. That's six adult sized berths in all. The forward compartment is completely private. It has two v-berths, with filler, and two hanging lockers. The forward hatch and windows keep it light and dry. The main salon offers foam cushioned berths, with storage above and below. The enclosed head with shower and vanity ensures privacy. Seating for six at facing settees around a large drop leaf table makes meal time a social event. The roomy aft galley offers alcohol stove, stainless steel sink, a hot and cold pressure water system and a large ice locker. Headroom throughout the main cabin is a lofty 6'5".
