The Irwin 32 Citation represents a pivotal shift in Ted Irwin’s design philosophy, transitioning from the heavydisplacement, traditional cruisers of the early 1970s toward a more modern, performanceoriented "racercruiser" aesthetic. Introduced in 1978, the 32 Citation was part of a series that included the Citation 34, 39, and 40, all characterized by sleeker profiles, reduced wetted surface, and improved windward performance. While many earlier Irwin models were built primarily for the charter trade or casual coastal hopping, the Citation line sought to capture the growing "club racer" market, offering a boat that could hold its own in PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) fleets while maintaining the generous interior volume that Ted Irwin was famous for.
