Production edit
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 2005 until 2008, but it is now out of production.[1][2][10][16][17]
Design edit
The Sun Odyssey 32i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. The hull kis made from single skin fiberglass polyester, while the deck is a fiberglass polyester sandwich. The boat has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, one set of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with 1x19 strand stainless steel wire standing rigging. The hull has a nearly-plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel, shoal dfraft keel or keel and centerboard combination.[1][2][3]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 21 hp (16 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 18 U.S. gallons (68 L; 15 imp gal), the fresh water tank has a capacity of 45 U.S. gallons (170 L; 37 imp gal) and the holding tank has a capacity of 13 U.S. gallons (49 L; 11 imp gal).[1][2][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side at the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located amidships on the port side. Cabin headroom is 73 in (185 cm).[1][2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 668 sq ft (62.1 m2).[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.08 kn (13.11 km/h).[2][3]
