SUNFAST 3200

Sometime ago Ian and myself were at the SouthHampton Boatshop when we first saw the Sunfast 3200... We were very impressed, but did nothing further.. After selling OC I sat down and reviewed my requirements in Sailing... I wanted:

-A boat of around 32 foot.
-Can be easily sailed.
-Good shorthanded ability.
-Good offshore capabilities.
-Simple layout.
-Simple to maintain.
-Practical interior, good for offshore.
-Capable of good daily averages offshore.
-Safety.. Watertight bulkheads would be a real plus.

The above is a tall order to be found in one boat. Then I recalled the Sunfast 3200.. The Sunfast 3200 ticks everyone of these boxes... I was sold.
After some investigation I found the local agent that was just starting up in the sailing division, we confirmed an order with him.. and all systems go.
There was no stock boat available so but the boat was about to go into production for end September completion.

In addition to the standard boat, I ordered the following factory accessories:

-Gyro Autopilot
-Spinnaker gear including carbon pole
-Charging system including an additional 2 batteries.
-Fridge.
-Lower navigation lights.


Plus a cradle and the wrapping of the boat for shipping.
