The Barbary 32, designed by Walter F. Rayner and primarily molded by Robert Ives in the UK, represents a peak era of the "proper" British motor-sailer. Launched in the early 1970s, it was conceived as a smaller, more accessible version of Rayner’s successful Atlantic 38. With a heavy-displacement hull, a long keel, and a distinctive ketch rig, the Barbary 32 was built to Lloyd's 100-A1 standards, reflecting a time when offshore capability was prioritized over marina-friendly maneuverability. Most examples were completed by yards such as Frederick Mitchell & Sons of Poole, leading to a high standard of interior joinery that remains a hallmark of the class today.
