Designed by the French naval architect Jacques Gaubert (often in collaboration with André Mauric) and built by the Amsterdambased shipyard Jachtwerf F. Dekker en Zonen, the Defender 32 is a quintessential Dutch cruiserracer from the 1970s. Introduced around 1972, the vessel was part of a series that included the Defender 27 and the larger Defender 35, all known for their robust fiberglass (GRP) construction and seaworthiness. The Defender 32 was specifically engineered to handle the short, steep chop of the North Sea, making it a popular choice for sailors in Northern Europe. Because the Dekker shipyard frequently sold these boats as "cascos" (unfinished shells) for owners to complete themselves, there is a significant degree of variation in interior finishes and layouts, ranging from basic functional setups to highend custom cabinetry.
