The Aries 32 is a 32.0ft masthead sloop designed by Thomas Gillmer and built in fiberglass by Roughwater Boats since 1972.
20 units have been built.
The Aries 32 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
