32' PDQ Altair LRC 1998 located in Solomons, MD. This Long Range Cruiser has twin Yanmar diesels, additional water storage, windlass, Inverter, refrigeration, davits, Caribe dinghy with Yamaha engine, full cockpit enclosure etc. She is well equipped for cruising and all her equipment including galley gear convey.
The PDQ was built in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. This is quite a clever design with two level seating in the cockpit that is covered by a hardtop and has a full enclosure making her comfortable in inclement weather. As a 32 footer they were concerned with the headroom in the salon area but designed a full width sliding top that allows headroom in the aft area of the salon. It is not needed forward as you would be sitting in the U-shaped dinette. When the hatch is closed (and it doesn't have to be often with the acrylic windows connecting the hardtop to the deck) you stoop. Headroom in the side hulls is 6'11" where the Nav station, galley, private staterooms and head are located. The hulls are solid glass below the waterline and cored with Klegecell foam above the water.
This owner opted for the upgraded twin diesels. The reliability and power of the diesel inboards make them very attractive.

Spacious Layout: The Altair LRC offers a roomy and well-designed interior, providing ample living space and comfortable accommodations for extended cruising.
Long Range Capability: Designed with long-distance cruising in mind, it features large fuel and water tanks, allowing for extended passages without frequent stops.

Quality Construction: Built with durable materials and attention to detail, the 1998 model is known for its robust build and reliability.
Low Draft: The shallow draft enables access to shallow anchorages and coastal cruising areas that monohulls might find challenging.
Good Deck Layout: Wide side decks and a functional cockpit make handling and moving around the boat easier and safer.
Cons
Performance: While stable, the Altair LRC is not known for speed, and its heavier displacement may result in slower passages compared to lighter catamarans.
Age Considerations: As a 1998 model, some systems and equipment may be dated and could require upgrades or maintenance.
Limited Privacy: The interior layout, while spacious, may offer less privacy compared to some newer designs with separate cabins.
Mast Height: The relatively tall mast may limit access to some low bridges or overhead obstructions in certain cruising grounds.
Storage: Although ample, storage space may be less than what some cruisers desire for very long-term voyaging.
