The searches provided excellent information.

Key findings:

  • Designer: Rob Humphreys (confirmed by multiple sources).
  • Production: 1987 onwards, though one source mentions 1979-1984. The and SailboatData.com (which usually aggregates reliable data) state 1987. I'll prioritize 1987 as the start year from the and SailboatData.
  • Purpose: Cabin cruiser, for cruising.
  • Variations: No significant variations like MkI/MkII were found directly for the Show 32. One result mentions some Freedom 32s had a "sugar scoop" swim platform added, but this is not directly related to the Barberis Show 32. I will assume there were no major variations unless specifically found for the Show 32.
  • Interior Layout: No detailed interior descriptions were found in the initial search results. I will need to explicitly search for this.
  • Owner's Perspectives/Common Problems: No specific owner reviews or common problems were found for the Barberis Show 32, other than a forum post considering buying one. This section might be omitted or very brief if no concrete info appears.

Revised Plan & New Search Queries: I have enough information for the Introduction, History & Design (except for Rob Humphreys' specific philosophy for this model), and I can calculate the ratios. The Accommodations and Owner's Perspectives sections need more specific searches.

New Search Queries:

  1. "Rob Humphreys design philosophy for cruising sailboats"
  2. "Barberis Show 32 interior photos"
  3. "Barberis Show 32 cabin layout"
  4. "Barberis Show 32 dimensions and layout review"
  5. "Rob Humphreys Show 32 design brief"
  6. "Barberis Show 32 forums" (to find owner discussions)
  7. "Show 32 yacht review"

Let's proceed with these queries to fill the gaps.
