Remarks:
The Troll 32 is a very attractive traditional Norwegian-built double-ender. Owned by the current owner since 1994, this example, with re-designed cabin is now arguably the most attractive looking Troll class yacht in the country!
She would now benefit from some external cosmetic improvement and some TLC she is an ideal traditional liveaboard cruising yacht and for sale owing to her owner retiring from sailing. Last surveyed in 2021 with reports available on request.
Please note: The end photos of her with sails up and also out the water (photos 84-91) are from approximately 2015. The rest of the photos are from 2023.
