A 1969 Alden 32 Motor Sailer named Lorraine, owned by Captain Ron, gets a full deck-to-bilge walkthrough and a short sail in LA Harbor.0:22 The pilot house design — with an interior helm, panoramic Simrad chartplotter and radar station, and high coamings — is the boat's defining feature; Mark notes the elevated bow creates a blind spot for close-in objects like kayakers.10:23 Below, the 32-footer carries a three-burner propane galley, V-berth, forward head with hand shower, a Village Marine watermaker, and a molded single fuel tank baffled amidships with water forward.5:48 The Westerbeke 40-hp engine (likely a 4107) runs smoothly at 2,000 RPM, producing 5.5–5.6 knots; 2,200 RPM introduced vibration.12:04 Ground tackle includes a Rachna 15 anchor, Maxwell windlass, and a generously sized anchor locker.3:00 Under sail with main only in light air and beam swells, the boat makes four to five knots.16:55 Mark flags the absence of a boom vang as a safety liability given the end-boom sheeting arrangement and a forward hatch that blocks a vang attachment point — an accidental jibe could send the boom up into the backstay.15:39 Barlow winches with knife-blade tops are original and well-maintained.1:47 Single-handing the pilot house layout is awkward; two crew makes it straightforward.14:02
