About the ETAP 32s
Tandem keel draft:1.3m/4.25'
The Etap 32s is a fractional sloop designed by Mortain-Mavrikios and built by Etap Yachting (BEL) in 2003. With a displacement of 8157.0 lb and a beam of 11.25 ft, this model represents a specific vintage of European production where build counts are not definitively established in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern amenities over heavy offshore displacement. Its fractional rig and relatively light displacement make it responsive for short-handed sailing in protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.24 and a comfort ratio of 17.35, the Etap 32s is designed for coastal cruising rather than heavy bluewater passage-making. Its fin keel and moderate displacement suggest it is best suited for shorter offshore passages in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 32 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 32, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and interior layouts from the early 2000s. These models offer similar performance profiles and cabin configurations for coastal cruising.
