Flamingo 32
Description
The Flamingo 32 is a 31.5 ft masthead sloop designed by the renowned American firm Sparkman & Stephens (likely Olin Stephens or his team) and built in fiberglass by Cabrasmar in Brazil starting in 1976. It's a moderate-weight cruiser-racer with a reputation for solid performance and classic lines from the Sparkman & Stephens portfolio (similar in spirit to their other S&S designs like the Tartan or Yankee series from the era). This is a relatively obscure production model (limited numbers built), aimed at coastal/offshore cruising with decent speed and stability—fin keel with spade rudder for responsive handling, and a rig that favors overlapping genoas for power. It's not a high-volume boat like Beneteau or Catalina, so examples are scarce on the used market.
