DESCRIPTION:
1976 Ontario 32 Sloop
Offered at
AQUILA is a rare gem among cruising sailboats, this Ontario 32 (only 160 built) combines the timeless lines of a C&C design with thoughtful upgrades for modern comfort and confidence underway. Solid glass hull construction (no coring) and a spacious teak interior make this 32-footer feel larger than her size. Easy to sail, well-balanced, and in very good condition throughout. This is not a project boat or a marina queen, she is sailed regularly and is ready for her next adventure.
