1997 J Boats J/32

The interior of the J/32 is spacious, clean in execution, thoughtfully appointed and beautifully finished in the classic style; teak joinery with off white paneling reminiscent of old Herreshoff cruisers. Much thought has gone into the cruising details and it’s easy to see that this boat was designed by and for sailors.

Stepping below, the initial sensation is that of being aboard a 40 footer. Perhaps it is the 6’3″ headroom, large ports and overhead hatches that create J/32’s sense of roominess and comfort below.

The L-shaped galley to starboard is uncompromised in detail, very workable with a molded, deep sink integral to Graincoat counter top. It includes hot and cold pressure water, large well insulated icebox, 2-burner stainless Force 10 LPG range, and dedicated trash storage with flip lid access.

The navigation table is proper size with hinged top lid, large drawer, tool cabinet, and complete DC electrical center.

Walking forward one passes through an oval opening in substantial, structural bulkhead supporting the shroud chainplates. The very comfortable and roomy double V-berth stateroom also has 6’3″ standing headroom with 2-drawer bureau, vanity with sink and mirror and hanging locker large enough to store a permanent “on-board” wardrobe. All this with additional storage for as many as 4 duffel bags under the berth.

The head/shower/wet hanging locker compartment aft to port is a proven winner, copied from over 100+ J/40’s & J/42’s we’ve built. The one-piece molded unit incorporates a shower sump with dedicated pump and strainer system.

Starboard aft is an immense storage locker with access both from the cockpit and by door through the galley

Exceptional ventilation is provided throughout by two dorade intakes, as many as eight opening ports, three deck hatches and the large dodger-protected companionway hatch which, with autopilot, functions as a soft-topped pilot house when passage making in bad weather.
