The Sadler 32, located in Southampton, UK, is a classic and capable fin keel sailing yacht designed by David Sadler. Built in 1980, this 9.60m (31’6”) yacht has had over £16,000 in recent upgrades, making her a strong candidate for both coastal and blue water cruising. Notable improvements include a new engine with less than 35 hours, new standing and running rigging (2022), flexi teak, and a hull strip with new epoxy coating (2021). Additional features include an electric anchor windlass, fixed solar panel with A-frame, Eberspacher cabin heating, and a recently serviced 130 JIB. With a reputation for fast, capable sailing and good accommodation, this well-maintained Sadler 32 offers excellent value and is ready for viewings in Hythe, Southampton.
This Sadler 32 is a Fin Keel Version of this very popular model. It’s had a huge amount of money & upgrades spent on her recently which makes her a very capable and potential “Blue water” Yacht.

Brokers CommentsThis Sadler 32 benefits from a large number of upgrades & significant costly replacements over the past few years that in our opinion, make her potentially suitable for possibly longer distance cruising. With a recent new engine, standing & running rigging, recent Epoxy Hull Coating, new antifoul, Solar Panel and feathering prop to name a few, this great boat has clearly been cared for by knowledgable owners.
"Yachting Monthly" described the Sadler 32 as ".... a boat that can be sailed hard and will keep you safe in adverse conditions. She’s drier than a Contessa in a seaway and sails better dead downwind. She’s also a more rewarding boat to gently cruise in light airs and more comfortable in harbour or at anchor, with a family-orientated cabin layout and extra interior volume."
In our opinion, this Sadler 32 is an excellent & safe boat which is both fun to sail & comfortable to spend time on-board. She is ideal for family sailing around coastal waters whilst still being very capable of cruising further afield. “Blue Fin” has the advantage of having had many significant upgrades performed in the past few years & is ready to offer her new Owner many more happy years afloat. We have copy of a recent survey available to potential purchasers and she is currently ashore having had new anti-foul and anodes fitted. She is currently lying in Hythe, Southampton & viewings are available through Aspire Boat Sales.
