Owner Experience Review
Owners choose the IP 32fromISLAND PACKETfor coastal and offshore cruising, often stretching into extended passages and liveaboard duty for couples or small families. Reports also cite weekend hops, the Bahamas, and Great Loop itineraries. With a cutter/solent rig and lines led aft, most routine sail handling is manageable shorthanded or solo.
On the water it is a heavy-displacement, long-keel cruiser that tracks straight and moves with an easy, seakindly rhythm. It is stiff and secure offshore, but not a windward machine; owners describe wide tacks and tacking angles around 100°+, and the boat rewards a reaching course. In light air it can feel momentum-based and unhurried, yet it “carries her way gracefully” and settles into a steady groove.
Below, owners often call it “big-boat living” in 32 feet: a dedicated aft cabin, a roomy V-berth, ample stowage and headroom, a U-shaped galley, a bulkhead-mounted folding table, and warm teak-and-holly joinery with plentiful opening ports and hatches. Construction details earn praise, with comments that parts that must be strong are overbuilt, and daily serviceability is helped by engine access from the cabin and the quarter berth. Long-term ownership brings known watch-items: encapsulated 304-SS chainplates merit careful survey and are frequently replaced or moved external; aluminum water and fuel tanks glassed under the cabin sole can be invasive and costly to renew; some mid-90s boats carried polybutylene plumbing later swapped for PEX, and deck hardware benefits from periodic re-bedding to prevent localized core issues despite PolyCore decks.
Pros and Cons
- Tracks straight and feels seakindly offshore thanks to the heavy displacement and long keel.
- Interior delivers genuine “big-boat” livability with a dedicated aft cabin, roomy V-berth, and abundant stowage.
- Cutter/Solent rig with lines led aft makes short-handed and single-hand sailing manageable.
- Sluggish in light air and not a windward machine, with wide tacking angles often around 100°+.
- Encapsulated 304-SS chainplates are a known long-term concern that many owners survey closely or replace.
- Aluminum fuel and water tanks glassed under the cabin sole can require invasive, costly replacement.
