Comments
This Hustler 32 is a well known East Coast boat, built for her one and only current owner. She was very successful in her day, winning the EAORA series overall in 1979. More recently she won the Friday night series in West Mersea in 2018. Her 2018 IRC rating was 0.911. The boat is currently laid up for the winter with all upholstery/sails removed, floorboards up and instruments removed. As with any boat that has been in sole ownership for 40 years, there is much extra (old) equipment and sails included that is not listed.
