10 / 47 - score 54%
The Swanson 32 is a 32.0ft masthead sloop designed by Ron Swanson and built in fiberglass by Swanson Brothers (AUS) between 1972 and 1979.

The Swanson 32 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
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.
