REMARKS:

The Duellist 32 is a very traditional design of cruising yacht with a spacious and extremely solid hull, long fin keel with centre plate and a strong cutter rig. Although very much a cruising yacht the prototype has some racing success winning its class in Burnham Week with its designer Alan Hill aboard. “Codan” originally named “Ambling” has only had 4 owners from new and has been widely cruised throughout the UK, European and Baltic Waters. Purchased by her current owner in 2014 (survey 2014 carried out). Beta 35hp diesel fitted soon after.
