BLACK MAGIC is a compact, full-displacement 32’ cutter designed by renowned Maine naval architect Eliot Spalding and built on the Eastsail 25 hull, professionally finished in 2025 by Maine boatbuilder Paul Rollins. She combines classic aesthetics with modern systems in a highly manageable size – perfect for single-handed coastal cruising, as well as extended off-shore cruising.

Her hull features a clipper bow with hollow entrance and a pronounced sheer, keeping her dry and safe in nearly any sea state. The wineglass stern provides further lift and dryness. Other attributes include: full keel with an all-lead ballast, transom-hung rudder, and counter stern. Hull construction is fiberglass with airex core, with bonded stringers and bulkheads, providing vessel stiffness and strength. She’s designed to move efficiently under power while offering balanced, easy sail handling.

On deck, BLACK MAGIC presents as a proper small ship with wooden bowsprit and boomkin, full bulwarks with bullnosed caprail, and a short cabin trunk with a raised doghouse. Hardware and fittings throughout are above-average and often one-off, selected for durability and performance.

The interior is finished to a highly custom standard, featuring satin-varnished oak and mahogany, white matted tongue and groove overheads, a teak-and-holly sole, and extensive bronze and stainless hardware. Warm, functional, and purpose-built for real use aboard.

Well-equipped with modern Garmin electronics, full sail inventory, Beta 16 marine diesel engine, diesel heater, galley with full sink and cooktop, refrigerator, and enclosed head.
