We are confirming an exact hull photo for this model. Specifications and survey notes are complete.

On the live Westerly Fulmar 32 card the body already names Ed Dubois, the British yard and fin and twin options, and the chips hold 9.73 × 3.33 and 1979-1991. But the Best for block still reduces the boat to a twin-keel with shallow draft, as if fin hulls in Scandinavia did not count - even though lower on the same page it says the north more often takes fin, while twin fits UK tides. History writes production to 1992; the chips cut at 1991. Until Best-for and the end year stop arguing with the body and the registers, you are not yet looking at the full Fulmar 32 this page is about.

The model was drawn by Ed Dubois for Westerly in the UK as a cruiser-racer: under water fin (~1.60 m) or twin (~1.22 m), rarely lift (Gap on count). Clubs and registers usually give about 435-437 hulls - the live fork is already close. Plate: LOA 9.73 m, LWL 7.92 m, beam 3.33 m, displ about 4491 kg, ballast on the order of 1910 kg. LWL is missing on the card for the antifoul calculator. We do not inflate the few sugar-scoop Fulmar 33 boats into the mid-1990s as a mass series (Gap). We do not invent an asking price.

Calculations and ratios

Brochure numbers need matching units. Open a FairHelm formula page for the classical form, rule of thumb, and limits before you compare listings.

All yacht formulas

Design history

On survey check twin-keel stub fairing (if twin), osmosis maps on 1980s hulls, sandwich-deck moisture at stanchions, standing-rigging age and Volvo MD service - the live checklist already holds that.

Typical problems

We do not carry FAQ SEK bands as SSOT (Gap); we close Best-for twin-only and the chips cut at 1991 while history/registers run to 1992.

Annual ownership costs

Read kronor annual bands as a marina class around 9.7 m, not a yard offer. We do not invent an asking price.

Calculators for this boat

Indicative figure for weekend use. The country supplies berth and winter. The insurance line stays the Swedish planning band - not a Danish, German, or Dutch premium. Maintenance stays Swedish too. Not a marina quote.

  • Sweden (planning bands)€4,950 - €8,550
  • Denmark (two harbours, season)€3,771 - €6,191

Antifouling

Litres need waterline length and draft. This page only has length overall and beam, so litres are not calculated here.

Pre-purchase survey checklist

Beside this page: the Westerly hub, Konsort and neighbouring British 30-footers. Their opens are not cloned here: first fix Best-for and the end year to the full Fulmar 32.

Expert verdict

FairHelm rating: 7.7/10: Twin-keel Westerly with shallow-draft option; inspect bilge-keel fairing and gelcoat osmosis before delivery.
