The short answer... No it won't sail well. or alternatively you could buy one of these. It would sail just as well and do even more stuff.

Have you looked at an i550?
Could anyone lead me to info on how to set up a self centering tiller system for a 14ft dinghy. I want to use the club pacers every now and again...
For anytheng other that the basic hull modeler, you need the paid version. But there are always calculators and books...
does 4.5tonnes sound better to you? considering it will probably be 9mm ply, it sounds ok
And with the draft I just took that strait of Delftship, I will do some reaserach on what the usual 32fter is and adjust it. I think a cat-ketch...
Yes I agree leeboards will be VERY easy to use, BUT, with a center case all you have to do is sandwich some 18mm bits of ply together, and as when...
also I would put a yawl rig on it, as that allows SO many more sail combinations and it is proven to be easier to handle single handed.
length, 32ft, waterline length, about 30ft, displacment 2.487tons (can be adjusted with some changing of the shape). me and no.
What about something more like this? It has a draft of approx 1ft, it has plenty of headroom, 11ft wide, and 7ft tall, with a floor in it it...
I would alos consider a Steel Centerboard, it will give you good righting moment, and shouldn't be too hard to use or fit, the top of them can...
Drawing a 30ft model up now, to have it 8ft wide and plenty of head room is a bit of a stretch, I would say maybe 10ft wide, I'm 5'8" and sail on...
yeah, first I'm a kiwi and we (and aussies) spell different to you yanks :p
Why 8ft wide, I just drew up a model on delftship and that is very thin, but is this so its trailerable? Also when designing you need to think,...
are you looking for a 30ft boat? , or something smaller? also is it for you to build?
Thats not really what I want. I want the challenge of designing the thing and if I ever have the cash maybe building one.
Also for books look at Aero-Hydrodynamics, and the performance of sailing yachts, by Fabio Fossati. Dad just got it for me for me bday, it will...
Ahh just read a bit more it would seem you want to single hand and adventure. I would definatly consider taking the time to design a nice boat,...
Ahh ok, if you want quick to build then by all means go for s boxy shape, some of those curves may look hard but in all reality they are not to...
