The Watkins 32 arrived in 1982 as a primary example of the brand’s commitment to "volume-per-foot" engineering. Designed by the renowned William H. Tripp Jr., the hull was derived from modified tooling acquired during Watkins’ expansion into the larger cruiser market. While many Watkins models were adaptations of Columbia or Coronado designs, the 32 was refined specifically for the coastal cruiser who prioritized interior living space and a shallow draft over raw racing performance. Built in Clearwater, Florida, the vessel remains a fixture in the used market for sailors seeking a robust, heavy-displacement boat capable of navigating the thin waters of the Florida Keys or the Bahamas.
