Blue Leth 32 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Blue Leth 32 means looking at a Danish-built Elvstrøm & Kjærulff design from the early eighties, built by Bianca A/S. These are solid fiberglass cruisers with lead fin keels, and most survivors carry the equipment and wear patterns of northern-European ownership rather than tropical charter history.
Layouts on the Used Market
The boat was built with two cabins and six berths in a mahogany interior, a galley, and a toilet. The 31-foot-6-inch hull draws 5.58 to 5.88 feet on the lead fin keel, so any example you view will need a berth with reasonable depth. With a displacement near 8,047 pounds and a 45 percent ballast ratio, the hull feels substantial for its length, and the sandwich deck layout is a defining feature of the model rather than a later refit.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Teak decks and a chartplotter are commonly fitted on brokerage examples, the former a period-correct visual and grip upgrade and the latter a near-universal modern navigation convenience. Beyond those, the original design may carry an 18-horsepower inboard diesel on a shaft drive with a 16-gallon tank, but buyers should verify the engine is present and serviced rather than assume it. The masthead rig originally specified 12 mm sheets throughout, so check that running rigging has been renewed to that standard.
What to Inspect
The defining construction point is the sandwich deck over a hand-laid fiberglass hull; inspect for delamination or soft spots where the insulating layer may have taken on water. Confirm the lead keel joint to the fiberglass fin shows no movement or corrosion staining, and check the shaft-drive transmission for wear if the inboard engine is fitted. The 26-gallon fresh water and 16-gallon fuel capacities are fixed by design, so verify tank integrity rather than expecting upgrades.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical availability centers on Denmark, where most of these boats were sold and kept. For a shopper, the checklist is short: verify sandwich-deck condition, confirm keel attachment, test the diesel and shaft drive if fitted, and expect teak decks and a chartplotter as common extras. The Blue Leth 32 rewards a buyer who wants a stable, well-ballasted small cruiser with a cold-weather-minded interior.
