The ETAP 32i is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by French designers Philippe Harlé and Alain Mortain (Harlé-Mortain), as a cruiser and first built in 1992.[1][2][3][4][5]
Design
The ETAP 32i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester glassfibre-foam cored sandwich, with wood trim. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,763 lb (4,428 kg) and carries 2,866 lb (1,300 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The foam-cored construction renders the boat unsinkable.[2]
The boat has a draft of 4.60 ft (1.40 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a diesel engine of 19 hp (14 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 19 U.S. gallons (72 L; 16 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 34.3 U.S. gallons (130 L; 28.6 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, a 17.2 U.S. gallons (65 L; 14.3 imp gal) ice box and a double sink. The head is located opposite the galley, on the starboard side and includes a shower. The main cabin has 72 in (183 cm) of headroom.[1][2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 771 sq ft (71.6 m2). The boat has a hull speed of 6.87 kn (12.72 km/h).[2]
