The Evelyn 32 is a quintessential representative of the 1980s American performance-sailing ethos, a period when designers like Bob Evelyn pushed the boundaries of light-displacement racing. Built by Formula Yachts in Groton, Connecticut, the 32 was conceived as a "giant killer," designed to outpace significantly larger vessels, particularly in the light-to-moderate air typical of Long Island Sound. Unlike many of its contemporaries that were heavily compromised by the IOR (International Offshore Rule) rating formulas of the time, the Evelyn 32 prioritized a clean, fast hull form that favored pure speed over rating optimization. The result is a boat that remains a staple of the PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) circuit, cherished by sailors who prefer a tactile, responsive helm and the ability to plane under the right conditions.
