See CHESAPEAKE 32. Approximately 95 were built between 1960 and 1965 as the CHESAPEAKE 32. Approximately 35 by Danboats and the balance by Sanderson, both in Denmark. Gulf Marine in California bought the molds and also built about 10 hulls sold as the CABRILLO 32. The hull is solid glass with integral tanks and her deck cored with ply, particle board or masonite.
Some boats had a shorter rig than the one listed above, with I:39′ and P:34′.
The OFFSHORE/EMPIRE 40 was created as a replacement for the RHODES RELIANT in an effort to reduce costs of contruction and design royalties. Although from the same basic molds, the Offshore 40 has iron instead of lead ballast, as well some differences in other construction details. Sold as a sloop or yawl.
