Broker Remarks

The Rival 32 has earned a well-deserved reputation as a great sea boat capable of safe extended cruising. Designed by Peter Brett who was responsible for all of the very successful Rival range, over 200 32's were eventually built most by Marine Construction.'Amante' was the very last Rival 32 built but she had to wait until 1990 for her owner to launch her. She now has a recent Beta 25 engine which has been regularly serviced and has only 470 hours on it. her sails are in good order and include a spinnaker and pole as well as a storm sail which is unused. The cabin is heated by a hot air heating system.  This is a wonderful opportunity to own a really classic, well-found, quality yacht.

Accommodation

The Rival 32 sleeps 5 in two cabins. The saloon has a large folding dining table. The galley has a stainless steel sink and a two-burner, oven and grill, as well as dry storage.

History of Rival

Rival Yachts, a highly esteemed brand in the boat manufacturing industry, began its storied journey in the early 1960s in England. The company was an ambitious endeavour initiated by three experienced seamen - Peter Brett, Dick Stratton and Mike Slack. Brett was the mastermind behind the design of their innovative crafts, and his passion for combining performance with comfort resulted in the Rival 31, the first boat launched in 1967. Boasting extraordinary qualities for an ocean cruiser, the Rival 31 received widespread recognition and admiration, effectively setting the tone for the company's future creations. Persisting with their focus on sturdy, sea-kindly cruising yachts, Rival later introduced the 32, 34, 36 and the 41, with the Rival 38 marking a significant change in their design approach. Their boats' overall craftsmanship and durability even led to several Rival yachts successfully participating in circumnavigations and transatlantic races. The company's primary manufacturing hub was based out of Southampton but later operations were moved to Burnham-on-Crouch for a period in the late 1970s.Over time, the management of Rival Yachts has changed hands a few times. The brand is currently managed by Bowman Yachts as part of its portfolio. Bowman Yachts, also known for its reputable marine craft, is now based in Emsworth, Hampshire. The continued production of Rival Yachts, especially the larger Bowman models, is a testament to the lasting value and legacy of the Rival brand. Despite the challenges met by the marine industry in recent years, Rival's unwavering commitment to its founding principles of durability and seaworthiness has cemented its place in yachting history.

Construction

The Rival 32 was designed by Peter Brett in around 1971, all the 200 hulls produced being moulded by Marine Construction (Woolston) Ltd., many being fitted out by Southern Boatbuilding. The design was a longer counter sterned development of the 1967 designed Rival 31, and later evolved into the better-known Rival 34 - although actually more Rival 32s than 34s were built. Known as a solid traditional cruiser, with longish fin keel and skeg hung rudder. Many Rivals have made long ocean passages.

Accommodation

The saloon has the trademark Rival "keyhole" bulkhead leading through from the galley and chart table to the saloon. The very traditional layout has the chart table to starboard, with a quarter berth aft of it, the end of the berth forming the chart table seat. The saloon table drops to form a double berth to port, with a single convertible settee/pipe cot to starboard. Forward is the heads compartment, with hanging locker opposite, and then the forecabin, with vee-berth convertible to a double.

Broker's comments.

These boat details are subject to contract. This Rival 32 is the best example of its kind that I have seen. I have spent many hours sailing on Rival 32's and found them to be exceptionally sea kindly. This particular sailing boat has been maintained to a very high standard by her meticulous owners. She is ideal for newcomers and seasoned sailors alike. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

• Sailboat Guide

Rival 32 is a 31 ′ 9 ″ / 9.7 m monohull sailboat designed by Peter Brett and built by Marine Construction Ltd. starting in 1971.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

All 200 hulls were molded by Marine Construction Ltd., but many were finished by Southern Boatbuilding. The design was a longer counter sterned development of the 1967 designed Rival 31, and later evolved into the better-known Rival 34 - although actually more Rival 32s than 34s were built.
