The DOLVIK 32 is a 9.60 m long, form-glued mahogany runabout with a Mercruiser twin-engine system, each with 220 HP and Z-drive. This allows the boat to be maneuvered effortlessly even in the tightest spaces and reaches a top speed of about 40 knots.

Excerpt from the shipyard brochure:

In a time when many things are fleeting, uncompromisingness is a philosophy that sounds refreshingly old-fashioned. But it ensures the creation of classics and the preservation of quality.

The story of the Dolvik 32 began with the vision of building a boat that exhibits all classic elements and is equipped with the latest technology, combining the understated elegance of a wooden boat with innovative development.

"To be able to create something new, one must know the old." This sentence has played a crucial role for us in development. We have looked around the world, compared, discovered, discarded, and developed. The result is boats that combine tradition with craftsmanship and the latest technology.

The craftsmanship and material of a Dolvik have one thing in common: uncompromisingness in style and technology.

Wooden boats from Dolvik radiate not only solidity but also something original. Wood as a material has technical advantages that are ideal for robust and value-retaining boats. Dolvik is characterized not only by the highest craftsmanship quality but also by the further development of classic construction methods.

A significant step in the construction of wooden boats was the use of epoxy resins. Initially, only the keel was coated with these resins to make it more durable and less sensitive to environmental and water influences. Dolvik takes a step further with the "Cold-Moulding" method.

The hull frame is first planked with several layers of durable marine plywood. These panels are exclusively glued with epoxy after being laid in epoxy. Fiberglass or Kevlar mats are then applied for reinforcement, again soaked in epoxy resin. The result is a hull of incomparable stability and low weight. To fill the wood pores, at least four layers of epoxy resin are applied, followed by another six to eight layers of polyurethane, which serves as UV protection and brings out the natural beauty of the wood in full splendor.

The result is a wooden boat that is saltwater-resistant and aging-resistant. The maintenance effort is no greater than that of any other fiberglass boat.

Dolvik boats are equipped with a Z-drive. This allows for a tidy and spacious cockpit, as the engine is located far in the stern compared to conventional shaft drives. On the other hand, it achieves an extremely low draft, as the Z-drive can be raised electrically if necessary.

"Style is the attention to the finest detail." Oscar Wilde said. We adhere to this. Our boats show that they are lovingly built by first-class craftsmen.

And before we decide on a detail, we have examined the alternatives worldwide. Because here it applies: "Second-class is third-class."

All fittings of a Dolvik are made of high-quality materials. Bronze, brass, chrome, or stainless steel, teak, or mahogany. Always with the thought of combining high performance and durability with maximum efficiency and elegance. Where spotlights disturb the hull lines in others, you will find at Dolvik: a spotlight operated from the cockpit on deck. Instruments do not look like they belong in a space shuttle but correspond to the style of the boat. And no matter where you touch the boat and glide your hand over the finish - no seam, no edge disturbs, nowhere a rough surface.
