The Sandy Bay 32 begins with a proven Downeast-style hull—a design that, through the years, has delivered sea-kindly and safe performance in all kinds of weather. Stability is inherent in this design, which includes a skeg to protect the underbody, propeller, steering gear, and drive train. The Sandy Bay 32's large keel, flat after sections, and fine entry allow her to slice cleanly and comfortably through the waves without a significant loss of speed, yet with single-engine efficiency and economy.

When planing hulls are pounding and must slow down, the Sandy Bay 32 moves easily at speed. It's an exceptionally dry ride, with a flared entry that effortlessly tosses aside the bow wave as the hull slips through the water without a fuss. With her standard bow thruster, close-quarter maneuvering is simple and easy.
