The name, Eidos means the distinctive expression of the cognitive or intellectual character of a culture or social group. In brief, essence. Similar in sound, Aidos was the Greek goddess of shame, modesty, respect, and humility.
She is an East Orient cutter, 32 feet (10meters) in length, designed by a well-known Canadian designer, Ted Brewer, and built in Taiwan in 1980. The company doesn't exist anymore and I've been told that it's because they did excellent work, and just couldn't keep up price-wise with the cheaper, mass-produced boats. It is very difficult to find this boat for sale as most people keep them. She is a medium displacement offshore cruising boat which means that she is more stable than fast but I've had her sailing on a reach at 7 knots. She has been compared to a Tayana, a Pacific Seacraft, and a Southern Cross. Also, some Union 32s and Shearwater 32s were built from the same design.
Here are her specs:

Teak anchor-roller platform forward. Bronze opening ports.
Bottom paint every year or every second year.
Varnish on the trim and inside renewed regularly.
STEERING: Pedestal wheel steering (mechanical), Monitor wind vane.
PLUMBING:
Manual fresh water to galley and head. Manual seawater to galley.
One automatic and one manual bilge pump.

The aft cockpit is large with comfortable, surround seating. Teak covered seating with cushions and coaming angled for comfort with a fold-down table for
meals at anchor. Two bottles of butane in a self-draining locker. BBQ.
ELECTRONICS AND NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS
2 GPS, 2 VHF radios, depth sounder, binnacle and hand-bearing compasses.
SPARS AND RIGGING
Standing rigging (New 2002) – 1/4” main and intermediate shrouds, forestay and backstay, 3/16” lowers; Roller furling for the forestay, hanked-on staysail with a clubfoot boom.
SAILS
Mainsail w/3reef points, 100% roller furling jib, 80% roller furling jib, hank-on staysail, isometric spinnaker. Working condition.
ACCOMMODATIONS
6'3" main cabin headroom. The salon features mid-ship L-shaped seating and dinette to port (converts to double berth), settee to starboard.
Enclosed storage and shelves outboard. The forward cabin has a V-berth with filler to make a double and includes hanging locker and personal gear storage space. Privacy door. Fully enclosed head compartment to port includes a manual marine toilet with holding tank; freshwater with solar shower, vanity with washbasin. Opposite to starboard there are hanging lockers and storage. Aft of the salon to starboard is a navigation station with chart table storage; seating (and sleeping) on a large 6'3" quarter berth aft. The galley is aft to port and
equipped with 3-burner butane (camping) gas stove with oven; top-loading, insulated ice chest; single stainless steel sink with manual fresh and salt
water. Natural light and ventilation through 6 bronze opening ports and two overhead hatches.
Although Eidos could sleep six in a pinch, the salon seats four for dinner, so I like to keep the number of people on board overnight to a maximum of four.
