The Sargo 32 is a boat with an enclosed wheelhouse that can be sailed all year round. In the shipyard’s model range, it sits above the Sargo 31; with an overall length of 9.75 metres, it is around 30 centimetres longer. Sargo has adopted the design language of the larger Sargo 45. The bow and stern have more angular lines, which results in a longer waterline. According to the shipyard, this is intended to improve the boat’s handling characteristics.
Lighter construction thanks to vacuum infusion
Although the 32 is longer, it weighs no more than its predecessor. The hull and deck are constructed using vacuum infusion. In this process, the resin is drawn into the fibre mats under vacuum, allowing the amount to be precisely controlled. Thomas Sarin, Head of Product Development at Sargo Boats, says that this method helps to keep the weight down. Together with the hull design and the standard-fit interceptors, this is intended to ensure balanced handling at different speeds and in varying sea conditions.
One motor is enough; two are possible
The Sargo 32 is built for a single engine. Those who want more power can also order it with two engines. The single-engine version costs less to buy and is also likely to remain cheaper in terms of maintenance and fuel. Matti Laurila, Managing Director of Sargo Boats, points out that greater comfort does not necessarily mean more weight, more engine power or higher running costs. The aim with the 32 is to appeal to owners who, above all, make use of what they need on board on a daily basis.
More space below deck
The longer waterline provides extra space in the bow and stern. Below deck, there are two cabins offering a total of five berths. A new feature is a dedicated shower cubicle, which was not yet available on the Sargo 31. This makes the interior feel more spacious, even though the boat has hardly grown in size. On deck, there are areas at the bow and stern where guests can relax.
Driver’s cab with sunroof and side doors
As standard, the Sargo’s helm station features a large sliding roof and wide side doors. When open, they let light and fresh air into the cabin; in bad weather, everything can be closed. There is space on the helm for two large displays. A side hatch makes it easier to board from the jetty. This means the boat can be used in a wide range of weather conditions.
Interceptors are standard
Interceptors are included as standard. These are small flaps at the stern that are extended electrically and affect the boat’s trim. They help to keep the boat level and can reduce fuel consumption. Unlike trim tabs, they move vertically and react more quickly to changing conditions. The shipyard has included them as standard to make the boat easier to handle.
