The PDQ 32, often marketed as the "Passage Maker," represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Canadianbuilt PDQ Yachts lineup. Introduced in 1994 and designed by company cofounder 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 midsized 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 weightconscious fiberglass construction that utilized NPG isophthalic resins and core materials to prevent osmotic blistering.
