Maldives 32
Description
The Maldives 32 is a 32‑foot cruising catamaran designed by Jean‑Louis Noir and built by Fountaine Pajot in France from 1989 to 1994, with approximately 100–120 boats produced. It was one of Fountaine Pajot’s early production cruising cats, known for its light displacement, efficient hulls, and simple, practical layout. Constructed in fiberglass with foam‑core elements, the Maldives 32 was designed for easy coastal cruising, offering good performance for its size, a straightforward sail plan, and excellent space for a sub‑35‑foot multihull. Features include a large open cockpit, saloon with wraparound windows, outboard or small inboard auxiliary options, and accommodations for up to six in two hulls.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
