For Sale: 1983 Elite 32 “Amore Mio” — Proven Ocean Cruiser with Modern Upgrades
Meet “Amore Mio,” a 1983 Elite 32 designed by Philippe Harlé and built in France — a true blend of timeless elegance and practical performance. Known for her solid fiberglass construction, fin keel, and masthead sloop rig, this 32-footer is admired for her stability, craftsmanship, and comfortable layout.
Fresh from a voyage from Hawaii, “Amore Mio” has proven her seaworthiness and reliability. Her Volvo inboard diesel was completely replaced just two years ago and shows very low hours. At 18 horsepower, she offers smooth, confident handling under power.
This boat is set up for serious cruising comfort and independence, featuring:
Solar panels and a wind generator for off-grid power
Monitor windvane and electric autopilot for effortless passages
Onboard watermaker for extended adventures
Electric windlass for easy anchoring
Cockpit Bimini for welcome shade
Dinghy with a small, reliable outboard — perfect for exploring shorelines or quick runs to town
Below deck, the warm, functional interior offers two private cabins, a spacious saloon, and a well-appointed galley with a propane stove/oven, microwave, and refrigerator. The V-berth, aft cabin, and convertible saloon provide flexible sleeping arrangements for guests or family cruising.
With a displacement of roughly 8,400 lbs, the Elite 32 balances comfort and capability — equally at home coastal cruising or stretching her legs offshore.
A large storage locker is packed with extras, including spare sails, parts, and even scuba gear, making this an unbeatable package for anyone eager to set sail today.
“Amore Mio” offers the rare combination of proven ocean performance, modern systems, and classic French design — all priced to sell. Whether you’re chasing sunsets down the coast or crossing oceans, she’s ready to deliver unforgettable moments under sail.
