Design
The Sun Odyssey 32.1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa-cored deck and with wooden trim. The boat interior has varnished teak decor with a teak and holly cabin sole.[1][2][5]
It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, a reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces 7,936 lb (3,600 kg) and carries 2,381 lb (1,080 kg) of iron ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 6.40 ft (1.95 m) with the standard keel and 4.75 ft (1.45 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo MD2020 diesel engine of 20 hp (15 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 42 U.S. gallons (160 L; 35 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.89 kn (12.76 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of 136.[2][10]
