How will she perform - Sunbird 32 sloop?

[irati]

Hi all,

It's my first post in the forum, so hi to everyone

I've got my eyes on a boat that is not a well known model, a Sunbird 32. It's proving challenging to find information about her, other than the specs and a few pictures.

As you are the experts on boat design, would you mind trying to guesstimate how will she behave at sea and any potential weakness, by looking at the specs and pictures (shape of hull and keel profile)? That would be very helpful and appreciated.

(The boat is sloop rigged, unlike the one in the pictures)

Specs:
LOA: 32'
LWL: 26'
Beam: 10.3'
Draft: 3.9'
Displacement: 10,097 lbs
Ballast: 3638 lbs
Sail area: 560 sqf















Many thanks for your help!

It looks like the typical moder cruiser. It is a burdensome hull and probably an indifferent sailer.
