Best for: The sailor under 5'11" who wants a Gillmer pocket ocean cruiser and can handle a Sea of Cortez delivery.
The good
Tom Gillmer design; the seaworthiness numbers rival boats ten feet longer.
16,000 lb on 32 ft: a boat that ignores chop.
5'10" headroom is a real, published number.
The bad
Only 20 built; construction listed as fiberglass and plywood. Survey the plywood.
Low 28% ballast ratio and SA/D 11.9: tender-ish and slow in light air.
It is in San Carlos, Mexico, and it is the most expensive boat in its section.
The honest take
It made the list on numbers, not value. The delivery from the Sea of Cortez is the first passage, and the survey is the whole decision.
The Pact
We'll always be honest about gear. The good and the bad.
Most reviews you read only tell you what's great about a product. Ours tell you what's wrong with it too — where it fails, who shouldn't buy it, and when the cheaper option is the smarter one.
Every verdict comes from actually fishing the gear, not reading a spec sheet. When we get it wrong, the correction runs as loud as the original take.
The good and the badWe tell you what's wrong with a product, not just what's right.
Real water, real testingVerdicts come from actually fishing it — not a press release.
Argue with usEvery take is open for fire — here, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. We read all of it.
