THIS VESSEL SHOWS AS IF SHE JUST CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY Ontario Yachts has established a reputation as a builder of quality fiberglass production boats like the Ontario 32. During these boom years they had forged a successful partnership with C&C, which acted as the design team for these yachts. The Ontario 32 was conceived as a high-quality performance cruising boat incorporating the industry's latest design features.
Some of the notable features for the Ontario 32 include a deck anchor locker (big enough to house an internallt-mounted windlass), the lavish use of teak in refined interior cabinetry, a T-shaped cockpit and wide-for-her-length beam. At 11 feet, the Ontario 32 is one of the beamiest cruisers of its size. Underwater, the Ontario 32 features a long trapezium-shape, flat-bottom fin keel. The rudder is a semi-balanced spade section giving her a wonderful control in virtually all sea-states.
Her designers combined plenty of headroom and an open main salon in a performance cruiser. In front of the mast the interior is fairly conventional, with a V-berth, head with shower and hanging locker. The main salon consists of a starboard side settee and pilot berth positioned just above the salon bench. Moving aft along this side is a U-shaped galley, an aft-facing chart table and nav seat. Finally, an L-shaped settee runs forward to the head bulkhead.
The cockpit is deep, protected and roomy. With their high coach roof and large cockpit, a number of 32's have been retrofitted with full cockpit enclosures, which offer cabin cruiser size shelter.
Scooter IV has always been a fresh-water boat. The owners, who have had her since new, have incorporated a number of upgrades which make her even more attractive. These include:
- new bimini, dodger, and extension piece
- new running rigging and dock lines
- custom mainsheet traveler
- all self-tailing winches
- roller furling jib
- closed-cooling Yanmar diesel engine
- and much more.
This vessel was the third last Ontario 32 ever made. The owners have kept her in near-new condition and she is an absolute delight to show. If you are looking to sail and live aboard one of the finest cruisers ever built, this is the one. Scooter IV is a true beauty and sets the standard for all the other Ontario 32's out there. |
