Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Fuji 32 is a 31.5 ft masthead ketch designed by C. Oberly and built by Fuji Yacht Builders (JAP) in 1976. With a displacement of 13115.0 lb and a full/long keel, this vessel represents a classic, heavy-displacement cruising platform from the mid-1970s.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize stability and comfort over speed, particularly those seeking a traditional ketch rig for easier single-handed handling.
Bluewater capability:
With a high displacement of 13115.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.67, and a full/long keel, the Fuji 32 is well-suited for bluewater cruising due to its inherent stability and seakeeping ability.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include other 1970s full-keel ketches such as the Cal 3-36 or O'Day 36, which share similar displacement, beam, and traditional cruising characteristics.
