Constructed by Island Marine Craft in Guernsey and launched in September 2001, the Channel Island 32 was designed by Alan Buchanan with durability and seaworthiness in mind. This reliable twin-diesel vessel features a sturdy GRP hull and deck mouldings, a centerline keel with a GRP shoe, and hydraulic wheel steering. Additional hull features include protective D-fendering, an extended stainless-steel pulpit, a radar mast, a bathing platform with tender mounts, a boarding ladder, and well-positioned deck cleats. Renowned for its rugged construction and excellent seakeeping capabilities, the Channel Island 32 has a solid reputation as a dependable cruising motor yacht with a comfortable cruise speed of 18-20kts.
In a survey conducted in May 2023, "Blue Topaz" was found to be in good condition, with an average annual usage of about 60 engine hours, reflecting its light use.
