The Cavalier 32 is perhaps the best production cruiser to be produced in New Zealand. It's considered a substantial all rounder with excellence in heavy conditions and downwind performance. Helped by its 50% ballast ratio, expect to hold up full canvas well after other boats have to reef.
This is one of the original boats built by Peter Smith of Cavalier Yachts so had particular attention paid to preventing osmosis, unlike later models produced under licence.
