Prairie 32
8 / 32 - score 58%
The Prairie 32 is a 31.67ft cutter designed by George S. Hawn, Jr and built in fiberglass by Prairie Boat Works (USA) since 1976.
35 units have been built.
The Prairie 32 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
