PAOLO LODIGIANI’S STUDY PLANS
ALBATROS 32’
ALBATROS 32' springs from the same
inspiring principles of ALBATROS 36', but to
maintain its overall length within the limits
for which no registration is required,
everything is lower in scale, from the
navigation plan to internal habitability and
difficulties of construction. Even in this case,
we have a very marked classical style,
highlighted by a traditional deckhouse, by a
heart-shaped transom and by a good amount
of deck sheer, combined with modern
characteristics which liven performance. It is
a boat that has been studied for
Mediterranean cruising, with frequent stops
at ports, but also suitable to cover long
passages of open sea and bravely face sudden
weather changes. It affords sumptuous
comfort for a couple, but even four people

may stay comfortably with abundant space
available. Its sail plan is the same as for its
bigger sister: a fractional sloop rig - a solution
which has, not by chance, become the most
widespread nowadays - even on cruise boats,
almost supplanting mast head rigs. There is
the possibility of adding a gennaker or a code
0, for downwind sailing, hooking it onto a
mobile bowsprit. This system, which was
conceived for regattas, offers enormous
advantages also to a cruise boat, allowing it to
take advantage of the smallest breeze and by
limiting the use of the motor. The
construction method is with strip planking
and, in view of the dimensions, even an
amateur may take up the task without
excessive effort and time - avoiding that his
dream from becoming a nightmare.
