The PDQ 32, often marketed as the "Passage Maker," represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Canadian-built PDQ Yachts lineup. Introduced in 1994 and designed by company co-founder Alan Slater, the vessel was conceived to offer the stability and volume of a cruising catamaran in a package that remained manageable for a couple or a solo sailor. Built at the firm's Whitby, Ontario facility—formerly the home of Whitby Boat Works—the 32 was a response to the growing demand for a mid-sized multihull that could transition from weekend coastal cruising to serious island hopping in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Between 1994 and 2002, PDQ produced approximately 53 units, each characterized by a focus on structural integrity and weight-conscious fiberglass construction that utilized NPG isophthalic resins and core materials to prevent osmotic blistering.
