1972 IRWIN 32 CRUISER. FEATURES:TWO MAINSAILS, ONE OF WHICH IS A RENAISSANCE. BOTH ARE CLEAN AND SERVICABLE WITH PLENTY OFF LIFE LEFT IN THEM. THE RENAISSANCE IS MISSING ONE MAST GUIDE CLIP, BUT I HAVE SAILED WITHOUT IT WITH NO ISSUES. IT IS NOT NOTICABLE UNLESS YOU KNOW IT IS GONE...SO NOW YOU KNOW. THREE JIBS - ONE IS A STORM JIB THAT HAS BEEN RAISED LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES. ONE 175% IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AND ONE GENOA THAT IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. ALL THESE JIBS WERE PURCHASED PRIOR TO IT SIX MONTH CRUISE IN 2007. ALL RIGGING IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD SHAPE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED AS NEEDED SINCE 2007. SEAT CUSHIONS IN THE COCKPIT AND DOWN BELOW WERE ALL RECOVERED IN 2007 WITH REMOVABLE CANVAS WHICH MAKE THEM EASY TO WASH. NONE OF THE CUSHIONS HAVE ANY TEARS, ALTHOUGH THE CUSHIONS DOWN BELOW COULD USE A WASH. BIMINI TOP COVERS THE ENTIRE COCKPIT .DODGER ENCLOSES THE COCKPIT UP FRONT WITH CLEAR WINDOWS. THE CENTER WINDOW WAS PROFESSIONALLY REPLACED LAST MONTH. BIMINI AND DODGER ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. JUST NORMAL WEAR AND VERY MINIMAL FADING. BOAT HAS TWO 20 GALLON FUEL TANKS THAT WERE INSTALLED NEW IN 2007 ALONG WITH ALL OF THIER ASSOCIATED PLUMBING. TOTAL FUEL LOAD - 40 GALLONS .ONE 20 GALLON FRESH WATER TANK UNDER THE V-BERTH TO SUPPLY THE HEAD SINK / SHOWER, AND ONE 10 GALLON BLADDER TO SUPPLY THE GALLEY SINK. FUEL CANISTER STOVE WORKS, BUT NEEDS FUEL CANISTERS. RAIL MOUNTED CHARCOAL GRILL- IT IS SMALL, SO DON'T EXPECT TO COOK MORE THAN 4 BURGERS AT A TIME ON IT. HEAD - COULD USE A NEW TOILET AND SOME GENERAL CLEANING / PAINTING... I HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO START THIS PROJECT, BUT WEST MARINE SELLS A TOILET FOR $75 AND A QUART OF PAINT IS CHEAP. FRESH BOTTOM PAINT IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR!!! FRESH ZINK ASWELL!!! WHEN I HAD THE MAST STEPPED IN JUNE, I FORGOT TO REPLACE THE BULBS IN THE SPREADER LIGHTS AND THE MASTHEAD LIGHT. THE PLUG AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MAST SHOULD EITHER BE CLEANED OR REPLACED AND WITH BULBS, ALL THE MAST LIGHTS WILL WORK. THE HULL WAS COMPOUNDED AND WAXED IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. DECK PAINT IS IN GOOD SHAPE.ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:THIS BOAT IS WIRED WITH 3 BATTERIES - THE #1 IS THE STARTING BATTERY, AND #2 AND #3 ARE THE CABIN POWER BATTERIES. THE ALTERNATOR IS WIRED THROUGH A CHARGING SYSTEM TO SUPPLY VOLTAGE TO THE LOWEST BATTERY FIRST, AND CONTINUALLY MONITOR ALL OF THEM. I START THE ENGINE WITH THE #1 AND ALWAYS SWITCH TO # 2 AND # 3 IMMEDIATLY NOT TO EVER BE STUCK WITHOUT POWER TO START THE ENGINE. AC POWER OUTLETS AND AN INVERTER ARE ALSO AVAILABLE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER USED THEM AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY ALL FUNCTION. ALTERNATOR IS NEW IN 2010. ALL CABIN LIGHTS WORK. VHF RADIO WORKS WELL. BOAT IS EQUIPPED WITH RAYMARINE AUTO PILOT AND DEPTH SOUNDERATOMIC 4 ENGINE:THIS ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT!!! FIRES RIGHT UP!!! UPGRADED TO ELECTRONIC IGNITION!!!! NO POINTS TO MESS WITH!!! FRESH OIL CHANGE WAS DONE IN JUNE ALONG WITH PLUGS AND WIRES. CHOKE IS MANUAL ON THE SIDE OF THE CARB. I STARTED IT TODAY AFTER IT SAT FOR 3 WEEKS AND NEVER TOUCHED THE CHOKE!! THIS ENGINE IS BULLET PROOF AND CAN CERTAINLY BE TRUSTED. I AM NOT SURE OF THE HOURS ON IT AS I AM THE THIRD OWNER, BUT IT CERTAINLY RUNS VERY WELL AND HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED IN JUNE AS A PRECAUTION ONLY. ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED IN 2010. BURNS NO OIL .BURNS 0.5 TO 0.8 GALLONS PER HOUR DEPENDING ON SPEED .TRANSMISSION AND SHAFT ALONG WITH CUTLAS BEARING ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND NO VIBRATIONS AT ALL ARE EVIDENT.NEGATIVES ABOUT THIS BOAT:THE COCKPIT HAS A FEW SMALL INSTRUMENT HOLES THAT HAVE BEEN GLASSED OVER, AND COULD USE A BIT OF TOUCH UP PAINT. THEY ARE HARDLY NOTICABLE BECAUSE THE CUSHIONS COVER MOST OF THEM, BUT I KNOW THEY ARE THERE, AND SO WILL YOU. YOUR GUESTS WILL NEVER NOTICE, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY ANNOY YOU!! THE DOOR TO THE HEAD IS NO LONGER WITH THE BOAT, BUT A SHOWER CURTAIN TYPE DIVIDER WILL WORK AND LOOK JUST FINE. UNDER THE V-BERTH IS THE FRESH WATER TANK. IT NEEDS A DOOR OR PANEL OF SOME SORT TO COVER THE ACCESS HOLE. THE FLOOR IS A BIT DIRTY RIGHT NOW, BUT I HAVE A ROLL OF VINAL HIGH TRACTION FLOOR COVERING THAT COULD BE INSTALLED IF YOU SO DESIRE. IF NOT, YOU CAN SIMPLY WASH THE FLOOR.THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL 32 IRWIN. JUST REMEMBER, IT A 1972!!! IT IS NOT A NEW BOAT!!!THIS BOAT HAS BEEN USED ALL SUMMER WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL!!! LAST USED TODAY 8/1/10!!!
