The Symphonie 32, or just Symphonie, is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a cruiser and first built in 1979.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

The design is based on a prototype International Offshore Rule Three-Quarter Ton class racer.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1978 to 1984 with 367 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[3][4][5][9][10][11]

Design

The Symphonie 32 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. The hull is single skin polyester fiberglass, while the deck is balsa-cored polyester fiberglass. The boat has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, a single set of spreaders and aluminum spars with continuous stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem; a reverse transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed, deep draft fin keel, a shoal draft keel or keel and retractable steel centerboard. It displaces 9,800 lb (4,445 kg) and carries 4,410 lb (2,000 kg) of exterior cast iron ballast.[1][2][3][4][5]

The deep draft keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 6.16 ft (1.88 m), the shoal draft keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 5.9 ft (1.8 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 6.75 ft (2.06 m) with the centerboard extended and 3.5 ft (1.1 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.[1][2][3][4][5]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 16 or 22 hp (12 or 16 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 17 U.S. gallons (64 L; 14 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal).[1][2][3][4][5]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower. The main cabin headroom is 73 in (185 cm), while the bow cabin headroom is 67 in (170 cm).[1][2][3][4][5]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 969 sq ft (90.0 m2).[1][2][3][4][5]

The design has a hull speed of 6.87 kn (12.72 km/h).[2][3][4][5]
