2002 Sydney 32

A 2002 Sydney 32, this fiberglass sloop combines racing heritage with cruising comfort. Designed by the renowned Murray Burns Dovell team and built by Sydney Yachts in Australia, she features a narrow, sleek hull paired with a fin keel and spade rudder for responsive handling and speed across varied wind conditions. The fractional rig simplifies sail management while maintaining racing performance, and integral carbon fiber chainplates molded into a one-piece structural grid—similar to America's Cup construction—tie together the keel attachment, mast step, engine mount, and rudder bearing. Additional performance gear includes carbon sails, a carbon spinnaker pole, and a custom red recessed steering wheel with high wheel-to-boat ratio. Deck layout includes molded toe rails on the foredeck, foot chocks in the cockpit, and a low-profile polycarbonate sliding main hatch.

Below deck, the Sydney 32 offers comfortable, well-finished accommodations with two cabins and one head. Unusually tall headroom of 6'2" sets her apart for cruising comfort. The boat is easily handled by a shorthanded crew thanks to simple sail systems and strong construction with decked rigging designed to keep loads manageable.

Recent work completed in 2025 includes rudder inspection and bearing replacement, new Dyneema backstay, new B&G anemometer and wired speed/depth sensor, engine service of the Yanmar diesel, head sink replacement, new Seahawk Biocop bottom paint, new VHF antenna and mast cable. The boat finished second in her class in the 2010 Pacific Cup.
