Fales 32 Navigator Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a used Fales Navigator 32 means chasing a genuinely scarce boat: only a handful were completed by Fales Yachts, and most used Fales Navigator 32s change hands quietly rather than sitting available for long. The mid-seventies Crealock-Street cutter is a heavy, beamy cruiser whose comfort numbers outclass most rivals, so the buyer's real work is judging condition on a low-production fiberglass hull rather than comparing trim levels across a busy model line.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Navigator 32 shares the same long-keel, 32-foot hull with an 11-foot beam and a cutter rig, so there is no split between aft-cockpit and center-cockpit or shoal versus deep variants to sort through. The design's length-to-beam ratio of 2.84 makes the interior roomier than most similar boats, and the heavy-cruiser displacement-length ratio of 307 means the volumes you walk through are wrapped around a solid, weighty hull rather than a light racer's shell.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, a bimini and a furling main are commonly fitted, easing sun protection and single-person hoists. Hot water is often seen, a sign many boats were kept as liveaboard or coastal cruisers. Beyond those, buyers should expect varied owner-added gear rather than a standard package, and judge each unit on the condition of its rig and ground tackle.
What to Inspect
The wetted bottom surface runs about 30 square meters anchor, so inspect the full hull below the waterline for osmotic blistering, repairs, or poor antifouling preparation, since that area is large for the length and any refairing is labor-intensive. Confirm the quoted draft of 1.07 to 1.17 meters matches the boat's loaded condition anchor, as the immersion rate of about 202 kg per centimeter means load changes alter trim more than on a lighter hull. Check the long-keel hull-to-keel joint and the attached rudder for stress, and verify the fiberglass hull is sound given the few boats built and limited production consistency oversight.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats are found in the United States. For a buyer, the takeaway is simple:
- Expect a long search for a sound example given low production numbers
- Prioritize hull and keel joint condition over equipment tier
- Verify draft and load behavior before committing to a mooring or trailer plan
