Top Hat 32
The Top Hat 32 was designed as a capable cruising yacht. With a traditional full-length keel and heavy displacement, the Top Hat 32 has a lovely sea kindly motion and is a very capable coastal cruiser.
The cockpit is very large for a yacht of this size, making her a pleasure to sail. There are two Arco 30 two-speed self-tailing winches in easy reach of the helm. The running rigging runs back to the coach house roof, so she can be sailed from the comfort and safety of the cockpit.

- PV Charge Controller MP3129
- Solar Panels - 2 Banks
- Auto-navigation system and self steering (Raymarine Smart Pilot X-5)

- Anti-foul in May 2024
