Switching from sail to power. Albin 32-2 on our short list. Looking at a tri-cabin tomorrow. Anything specific to look for on these boats as we assess this one, or other 32–2s? Thanks!
Ok, a bit more specific ask…still about 32-2. We were very pleasantly surprised by the space and accommodations of this boat. Still have a few questions…mostly about the handling of these boats. We are coastal cruisers along Long Island Sound and are not planning on venturing too far from that body of water. With that said, we have a 35’ coastal cruiser sailboat that generally handles weather well. How does 32-2 handle bigger seas? Does it cut through the waves or bounces on top of them? How is the rolling of the boat when at anchor or mooring? We see many powerboats around us when we travel and many with high fly bridges are sometimes act as perfect catapults…. Other questions are around the construction of the hulls and decks…are they foam cored, or wood? Any issues with delamination or wet decks? Any specific area we should check?
