1983 Watkins 32

This vessel is ready for someone to get it back to cruising! Whether you want to do some coastal cruising, head down island, or just enjoy some nice day sailing this might be the one for you.

The owners spent 6 months each year cruising from the West Coast of Florida to the Exumas in the Bahamas on this shallow draft boat for the last 4-5 years before Covid, so this is a proven ocean cruiser!

The Watkins 32 was designed by William Tripp Jr. and derived from the molds from the Columbia 32. Only eight were built, being first introduced in 1979. In 1984 the transom and some of the interior were modified and became the Watkins 33. This vessel is sloop rigged with a long fin encapsulated keel and a skeg-hung rudder. The interior is well appointed with 6ft 5in headroom!
