The Banner 32 is a performanceoriented cruiserracer that emerged from the collaborative efforts of legendary naval architect Gary Mull and the prolific Canadian builder Cooper Enterprises Ltd. (Forbes Cooper). Produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, the Banner 32 was part of a series designed to provide a faster, more agile alternative to the standard cruising fare of the era. While Forbes Cooper was wellknown for producing sturdy, voluminous cruisers and licensed Catalinas, the Banner line represented a pivot toward the competitive IOR (International Offshore Rule) influenced market. The result is a vessel that balances a relatively lightweight displacement with a hull form capable of competitive club racing, while retaining the interior amenities necessary for coastal cruising.
