9' ft Clipper Marine 32 Aft Cabin 1975



Designed for pure sailing pleasure!

W.I.B. Crealock is a legend among contemporary naval architects. Most of his younger years were spent cruising the South Seas. His designs are universally admired and each a product of extensive cruising experience. He is now recognized as one of the world's leading authorities of performance cruising boats. �Gentleman Bill� Crealock spared no effort in his Clipper designs, as they are well balanced and exceptionally stiff.

The Clipper Marine Company, was founded originally in Sausalito, California. Their goal was to build trailerable fiberglass boats. In so doing, they were the first to use the swing keel in a small boat (first dozen or so boats were all 21's, with cast iron keels). The boats were all designed by W.I.B. Crealock, a long time associate of Pacific Seacraft. As soon as the production got rolling in 1972 or 1973, the assembly line was moved to Santa Ana. Since the smaller boats were all pretty good sellers, the decision was made to produce a 30 and a 32 with an optional ketch rig. The 30 and the 32 were built heavier than the preceding models. The mast was beefier with about 25% greater cross section and thicker walls. The hull and deck are a full 1/2 inch thick. The hull is 1/2 inch hand laid fiberglass, and the deck is 1/4 inch glass over 1/4 inch fir plywood with another 1/4 inch of hand laid glass below. Fiberglass construction was in its infancy in 1975 and so not knowing for sure its ultimate strength, they built it �hell for stout�. The 32 was the largest trailerable boat produced up until that time. For a Clipper, the boat had some of the sweetest lines that Crealock designed.

And such is basic history behind this 32 Aft Cabin. Besides being a well built cruiser, this sailboat on a trailer offers surprisingly comfortable liveaboard space. If you are looking for a stout 1970�s model designed for pure sailing pleasure, check out this Clipper Marine. They just don�t make them like this anymore!
