The Kettenburg 32 (K-32) represents a pivotal chapter in the post-war expansion of San Diego’s most celebrated wooden boat builder. Designed by Paul Kettenburg and introduced in the late 1950s, the K-32 was envisioned as a more accessible, slightly smaller alternative to the legendary K-38. While the larger PCC and K-38 models were dominating West Coast ocean racing, the K-32 sought to capture that same performance pedigree in a package that was manageable for a cruising couple or a small family. Built primarily of carvel-planked Philippine mahogany over steam-bent white oak frames, the K-32 remains a quintessential example of the "Kettenburg Look"—narrow-beamed, elegant, and exceptionally seaworthy.
