I was considering a 32 Vision and was wanting to here pros and cons on the free standing mast and cat rig. Thanks, Otie

Some pluses and minuses
Plus: simple rig, reliable, easy sailing, good on a reach, sails DDW, reef later. Negative, pointing speed, light air performance, heavy rig=heavier boat. As to the Vision itself, good all round boat. A bit different, so not for everyone. Great for a couple. Had one for nine years. Perfectly happy with it. Typical boat stuff (aluminum tanks, upgrade electrical) See all the owner reviews. Rick D.

See the recent thread .........
....."why buy a vision 32" on 11/24 for several responses regarding the V32. We just bought one, and, IMHO, it is certainly the boat with the most bang for the buck, especially if you can get a nice one in the low-mid $30k's. The free standing mast is NO problem, and the 51' semi-cat rig takes a little different technique to sail than a standard rig. But, when everyone else is reefing at 15-20 kts, the V32 is just getting warmed up.

Thank's for info.....
The V32 looks like a great weekender for a couple,maybe two occassionaly, but I was wondering abou the cockpit size, I can't tell from the pictures I've seen. Room enough for 4 adults?
