“ Manitou 32 is the start of another legend. The name is taken after the Hawaiian God of wind and water. This is the boat which promises you relaxed and comfortable cruising without sacrificing the true excitement of competing with others. ”
- Manitou Yachts promotional brochure circa 1975
Welcome to the on-line information exchange for devotees of the Manitou 32 Cruising Yacht.
The main aim of the site is to provide a medium through which owners (past, present and prospective) are able to share their experiences and link up with other owners. If you are interested in participating please use the feedback form or subscribe to the Manitou 32 mailing list.
Any information you can provide on your knowledge of the Manitou 32 and that you would be happy to have published on the site would be greatly appreciated. For example:
- the configuration and background of your boat (see Owner Survey );
- your experiences with the boat;
- the Manitou 32 generally;
- questions about the boat.
Acknowledgments to Tony Partridge and Sue Merricks, the former owners of Gem, who provided the original inspiration to establish a new Owner Group. Tony and Sue upgraded to a 46-footer in 2004 - still a centre cockpit though!
