About the EVOLUTION 32
"Twin asymmetric retracting bilge boards and twin rudders make this a fast and versatile cruiser racer with a large volume interior, great windward performance and high stability."
The Evolution 32 is a rare fractional sloop designed by Julian Everitt and built by Evolution Yachts UK Ltd, with only 5 hulls constructed in 2000. Its limited production run and specific build year make it a unique, low-volume vessel in the modern cruising market.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers or short-range offshore sailors who value a lightweight, responsive fractional sloop with a moderate comfort ratio of 22.35. Its relatively low displacement of 10582.0 lb and SA/D ratio of 19.59 indicate it is best suited for those prioritizing sailing performance over heavy-weather stability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.01 and a displacement of 10582.0 lb, the Evolution 32 is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than serious bluewater passagemaking. Its lightweight construction and narrow beam relative to its length suggest it is not optimized for heavy offshore conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early 2000s fractional sloop designs with similar beam-to-length ratios and displacement, such as the Beneteau First 32 or O'Day 322, though the Evolution 32 is significantly rarer. Its fractional rig and variable keel options place it in the same performance-cruising category as the J/32 or Hunter 320.
