Year: 1978
Hull: 359
Size: 32' sloop

Previous Owner History:
This hull was the boat show model for the "new" 1979 E32 and was shown at the Tampa Boat show. Purchased there and kept by the same owner from then until now.

Your Sailing Experience:
18 + years - small boat now is a Flying Scot for lake sailing; previously owned and Island Packet 29. Wanted the E32 because of that.

Boat Review:
After only one sail in 15+ winds and waves I did notice a little weather helm, but it sailed so great it was not a real problem. The original owner kept the boat spotless, with many add-ons to make it special. The survey of the boat found two 2" blisters on the hull to fix, and indicated the carpet inside needed to be vacuumed, but otherwise it was the finest boat he had checked in years.
