As Roger wrote, there is an informal email group of nearly all 32 owners, which you are welcome to join. If you let me know your email address, boat name etc, I can add you to the group. One member has already posted: "I've just fitted a 250W panel on my Commander 32 running from handrail to handrail so the sun roof just clears under, that will now run every thing during daylight hours."
Welcome to 32 ownership.
Peter

Not sure why my message doesn’t show but replying again.

Hi Chris

I have a Hardy 32 which had solar panels on when I bought. They are fitted on starboard well. I recently had them replaced as they delaminated and failed .

Not had any fitted on port side so I can access for polishing etc

There is an active hardy 32 sub group if you want add your name too. What’s your boats name ?

Hi,
I've recently bought a Hardy 32. I keep it on a swinging mooring at Holyhead and West coast of Scotland. I'm looking at installing solar panels to keep the batteries topped up. I think I've seen panels fitted in the sliding roof well on the cockpit roof. Any other owners got any experience or comments on solar panels for the 32. Thanks Chris
