About the BANNER 32
The Banner 32 is a 32.0 ft masthead sloop designed by Stan Huntingford and built by Cooper Enterprises in 1982. With a displacement of 10500.0 lb and a beam of 10.92 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of American production, though the exact total hulls built remains unconfirmed in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-speed performance, given its moderate D/L ratio of 266.7 and Comfort ratio of 24.18.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low Capsize ratio of 2.0 and a displacement of 10500.0 lb, the Banner 32 offers reasonable stability for coastal passages, but its single-year production run and limited documented bluewater history suggest it is not a dedicated offshore passagemaker.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Cal 32 and O'Day 32, as they share similar dimensions, production eras, and a focus on comfortable, family-oriented cruising rather than racing pedigree.
