32' beneteau evasion 32

Unique and very cool pilothouse boat coming out of refit. This original Andre Beneteau design was ahead of its time: with galley up, 360 degree view, and single level living she feels like a catamaran in a monohull; spacious and airy though only 32 feet. And with a easy to sail ketch rig on an hourglass hull form she is stable, well balanced and easy to sail. Not fast but quite relaxing. And when you want to motor the big 3-blade prop will give you 5 knot at 1100 rpm, sipping fuel. both helm positions are nice--inside the visibility is amazing and you will always be dry and warm (if too warm then open up the sun roof!! really!); outside the tiller is a joy in a cockpit that can easily seat 6.

She would make a great cruiser for a couple or perhaps a full-time live-aboard. the pilothouse will extend your sailing season well into later fall/early winter and the windows insure warmth. if you have questions please EM or text (i don't carry the phone) to 865 two zero one 6 zero one six. I am happy to talk about the boat and the refit work.

Ketch rigged. Beautiful tanbark sail all in good shape--no patches. standing rigging in great shape (about 5/6 yrs old). mostly new running rigging.

Engine is rebuild 30hp Perkins Perama with 1500 hours. these were also rebadged as a VolvoPenta MD30 so parts are common. As part of this refit I rebuilt the exhaust system from the exhaust elbow outward, and the water intake--thru hull, seacock, strainer. Inspected hoses changed one, and new belts. also new glo-plugs.

Boat had been on hard for some time so all paint removed to gelcoat then barrier, hard, and ablative paints (3 layers). hull and code stripe were painted along with cabin accent. removed alll under water through hulls except engine water intake.
New teak cleats (really; this is the original design and very cool), and teak cap rail redone: teak looks great!!

New lexan windows
360 watts of solar panels. Rewired the120 shore power and the 12VDC systems. all interior light (and there are lots) are LED.
Interior has been remodeled to open up the space (go on-line to look at originals--not good). galley has refrigerator, new water tank and water pump. Removed toilet system for composter.
Instruments: depth, chart plotter, speed. Raymarine autohelm.
Three anchors (CQR & Bruce up front, 75ftchain ea 100ft rode; Danforth for rear. Loftrans manual windlass.
