Flying Tiger 10M Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Flying Tiger 10M means taking a hard look at a 32-foot Bob Perry sportboat built to fit a shipping container and engineered for round-the-buoys racing rather than cruising. These are light, planing racers with retractable keels and carbon rigs, and the brokerage stock reflects that single-minded brief.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 10M's cabin is unfinished and functional, with 29 inches of headroom and two bunks beneath the cockpit that are the best sleeping spots aboard. A single-skin cabin top and molded fiberglass forward hatch define a sparse interior; the settee seats are usable only if you don't mind leaning inboard under the low deck. With a class-maximum crew weight of 1,050 pounds, these boats were laid out for speed and crew movement, not liveaboard comfort.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A spinnaker is commonly fitted, and an asymmetric spinnaker appears as a frequent owner upgrade for downwind buoy work. An autopilot shows up as a less common owner addition, useful if anyone tries to short-hand the boat. Beyond those, the factory outboard well aft of the companionway with flush-closing doors and the retractable bowsprit are the notable standard features; most buyers should focus on rig condition and sail inventory over creature-comfort gear.
What to Inspect
Early hulls carried under-specced tillers, underbuilt transoms, and rudder hardware that could not handle the outboard rudder's loads early-production structural shortcomings. The debut boats also suffered from poorly designed and built class sails. On any example, check for daylight through the laminate in low-stress areas, confirm the outboard-well doors stay shut, and look at the nonskid condition. A retractable bowsprit needs an aftermarket gasket to stop water seepage, so verify one is fitted.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in the United States, Canada, Estonia, and Australia. For a buyer, the checklist is short: confirm the hull is not an early underbuilt example, verify the bowsprit gasket and outboard-well doors, and assess the carbon rig and sail inventory for racing use.
