Targa 32 Review (2021 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

There is easy boarding from the sides onto the bathing platform with a step up to the aft-cockpit. The boat engines are located underfoot here. There are also practical storage lockers and seats that double up as storage spaces. Up the stairs there is a small flybridge, with a helm and seating for two or three passengers. 

Around the decks, there is the extra safety of deep bulwark sides and extra convenience of side access doors.  There is a special Finnish anchoring feature designed for anchoring off of rocky islands. Features of the thoughtful design include a big searchlight and a windscreen for the flybridge area.

The interior helm has easy handling, with a single-handed operation capability. Also located here is a multifunction display and engine instrumentation panel. The functional galley and the ample storage space also receive compliments. The raised roof allows for a double bed in the forward cabin, creating a much more usable space. Also appreciated is the blend of traditional and modern elements, like the old-fashioned lights on dimmers.

In the saloon area, the versatile table and the fridge located under the helm seat are showcased. There is a double bed and single bed in the aft cabin area, and a clever use of space for storage. The practical and usable heads also get a nod of approval.

The engine space houses a pair of Volvo Penta D4-300s. The boat has impressive speed, capable of reaching around 40 knots, and a superb hull that allows for a continuous cruise at 30 knots in pretty choppy seas.
