Discovery 32-2
Description
The Discovery 32-2 is a Canadian cruiser/racer designed by Peter Hatfield and built by Irwin Yachts (Canada) starting in 1974. It features a fiberglass construction with a fin keel and spade rudder, offering moderate weight, good stability, and respectable sailing performance for coastal and short offshore use. The boat is a development or variant of the earlier Discovery 32 (with refinements like a slightly modified rig or hull), known for a comfortable interior and balanced handling.
