Accomodations:
VESSEL WALKTHROUGH: From aft, there is a six step stainless steel and wood boarding ladder. The cockpit is next. The 7â¿¿2â¿¿ cockpit is large and all the control lines are led here for ease of handling with small crews. Both sides of the cockpit have lockers. The starboard one is a shallow one for winch handles and spinnaker sheets and the port one has a holder for the hatch board and other large items. Of particular note is that the access to the aft end of the engine is available through this large hatch. An Edson pedestal wheel and compass grace the center of the cockpit and a Garmin GPS 188 gives the helmsman position and depth information right where he needs it. A wind instrument gives wind speed and direction. Speed and distance are placed next to the wind instrument on the starboard bulkhead. A Harken mainsheet traveler is at the top and aft end of the coach roof keeping it out of the way yet close enough at hand to make sheet work easy. ** INTERIOR WALKTHROUGH: Stepping down into the cabin you are greeted by oiled teak everywhere and a beautiful teak and holly sole. The u-shaped galley is to port and it has the upgraded GNG stove and oven as well as lots of storage space. To starboard of the stairs is the navigation station and electrical panel. Behind that is a large quarter berth. Ahead of the galley is a large u-shaped dinette that converts to a 6â¿¿4â¿¿ double berth. To starboard is another equally large settee that can be used as a single berth. To port and ahead of the dinette is a large head. Please note that the sinks in both the galley and the head are fed by both a 12 volt pressurized water system and a manual pump system. Across from the head is a large hanging locker for keeping coats and raingear. The vee-berth is forward of the head and the closet. This berth is also 6â¿¿4â¿¿ and the room can be closed off from the main salon with a beautiful teak door. This boat shows better than lots of boats half her age. She should be seen by anyone in the market for a boat that is a cut above other 32 footers. ** Mid Cabin * V-Berth * Aft Quarter Berth * Sleeps 6 * 1 Manual Head

Sails and Rigging:
Most racing sailboats have a pretty decent sail inventory. Most cruising sailboats have a set of sails. Destiny comes with a sail arsenal. There are seven sails aboard. She comes with two mains, three genoas, and two spinnakers. This boat has won her owner two consecutive sailor of the year awards at the local sailing club. She sails right up to her PHRF of 171. She comes with both a whisker pole and a spinnaker pole to make downwind work a snap. The two 150 Genoa's are roller furled and the cruising spinnaker has a sock to make short handed launches easy. The backstay is newer and has a Wichard wheel backstay tensioner to help bend the mast back for a better upwind run.
