The Riviera 32, specifically Sparkman & Stephens (S&S) Design 2155, represents a significant chapter in Australian boatbuilding history, particularly within the Western Australian maritime scene. Produced primarily by Northport Marine in Fremantle during the late 1970s and 1980s, the Riviera 32 was conceived as a slightly more compact and accessible sibling to the legendary S&S 34. While the S&S 34 gained global fame for its offshore prowess, the Riviera 32 was designed to offer similar sea-kindliness and the signature S&S "upwind punch" in a package that was easier to handle for a small crew or family. Built with a heavy hand-laid fiberglass laminate, the hull features the classic IOR-era lines: a moderate beam, a fine entry for slicing through chop, and a well-defined tumblehome that characterizes the Sparkman & Stephens official design philosophy. Unlike the extreme "pinched" sterns of late-stage IOR racers, the Riviera 32 maintains a relatively balanced hull form that avoids the precarious downwind handling issues found in its more radical contemporaries.
