Pacific Seacraft PH 32 Buyer's Guide
The Pacific Seacraft PH 32 is a scarce pilothouse sloop designed by William Crealock in the late seventies, with only a few built, so a buyer shopping the brokerage market is looking at a small and intermittent population. Its all-weather brief and dual-helm layout make it a distinctive candidate for high-latitude or liveaboard cruising, but the low production means condition and original specification matter more than model-year timing.
Layouts on the Used Market
The PH 32 was built as a solid-fiberglass-hull, balsa-cored-deck pilothouse from the outset, with a skeg-hung rudder and an aperture-protected propeller. The inside helm duplicates the cockpit controls and instruments beneath a clear hatch, and the large windows give seated visibility. Below, the salon has a compact port dinette and starboard quarter-berth, the galley is forward and down to port opposite a head with teak seat and shower pan, and the forward stateroom carries a V-berth with hanging lockers and four opening ports. Headroom is above average. A Scheel-keel version at 4 feet 1 inch draft exists for shallow-water buyers alongside the 5-foot full-keel standard.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, air conditioning, bimini, AIS, heating, radar, autopilot, and life raft are commonly fitted, which together define a self-sufficient offshore or liveaboard package. Often-seen upgrades include solar, electric winches, hot water, and a chartplotter, pointing to owners who refined power and navigation without rebuilding the boat. Less common owner additions range from inverter and spinnaker to furling main, dodger, swim platform, teak decks, and cockpit shower. The standard original inventory — Harken roller furling, Ullman main and 130% genoa, Muir windlass, Lewmar self-tailing winches, dual Ritchie compasses, three-bladed feathering prop, and 12-volt refrigeration — should be verified present, as missing items reduce value more than on a higher-volume design.
What to Inspect
The cockpit is fitted with oversized drains and ample gutters, and the deck uses balsa coring for stiffness, so a buyer should confirm the cockpit drainage paths and any deck-core moisture given the coring material balsa coring in the deck for stiffness. The builder offered a 10-year warranty against blisters on the solid fiberglass hull, and the hull is a larger version of the Crealock 31-footer, so inspect the hull for osmotic history consistent with that warranty period. The rudder is skeg-hung and the propeller sits within an aperture, both worth checking for grounding or impact damage given their exposed geometry.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Examples are most likely to be found in the United States and Canada. Given the few boats built, a buyer should prioritize original structural integrity and a complete standard inventory over cosmetic upgrades.
- Confirm cockpit drains and deck-core condition
- Verify hull against blister warranty history
- Inspect skeg-hung rudder and aperture prop for impact damage
- Check for standard winches, windlass, furling, and refrigeration
- Prefer Scheel-keel variant if shallow draft is required
