Defender 32
8 / 26 - score 57%
The Defender 32 is a 31.5ft masthead sloop designed by Jacques Gaubert / André Mauric and built in fiberglass by Dekker & Sons (Jachtwerf F. Dekker en Zonen) since 1972.
The Defender 32 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
