In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Ontario 32 is a no-nonsense cruising boat with respectable performance, and it remains in high demand...The Ontario 32's popularity is in large part due to the fact that Ontario Yachts built these boats to very high standards and included many sought-after cruising features including, for example, dorade boxes for added ventilation, three burner stove with an oven, shoal draft, large chart table, 6' 4" of headroom"[7]
