Crown Fletcher 32 for sale in Oban United Kingdom

Boat Overview

The Crown Fletcher 32 SASSANNACH is a 32-foot semi-displacement cruiser, designed with a proven commercial hull from the Suffolk 32/35 fast fishing boats. John Perryman refined the design to include a new deck and cockpit moulding, resulting in a voluminous vessel. This capable seaboat features walk-around side decks, a deep, well-protected cockpit, a light and spacious deck saloon, two twin cabins, a galley, and heads.

History

Reportedly serving as a club committee vessel in her early years, the SASSANNACH has been based on the west coast of Scotland under current ownership, proving to be a comfortable and versatile cruiser.

Press Review

‘We liked the new Crown Fletcher immensely and, judging from many positive comments at the Show we are not the only ones. The reasons are not hard to fathom: an obvious sea-kindly countenance, on the back of a tried and respected working hull, combined with a solid, well-executed fit-out and sound practical touches to a most adequate layout. And of course, all this within 32ft.’
