The Hunter 33.5 is a highly respected coastal cruiser in the sailboat community; with her beautiful sleek design and modern and sophisticated interior that is spacious and roomy, providing enough room for a family of five (5) comfortably; great headroom too (6’4”), making her a very desirable choice for many sailors.
This beautiful Hunter 33.5 hails from Florida where her first owner enhanced her to become a racing machine by outfitting her with a whisker pole that holds the jib out, and the infamous Max-Prop folding prop that provides great sailing speed and performance under the motor.
After a few years of racing in Florida, she was brought up to Maryland where she shifted from being a racing queen to becoming a relaxing liveaboard spending her days providing motherly shelter and simply cruising the beautiful Chesapeake Bay area.
In 2016 she was purchased by the current owners who brought her up to the Northeast where she became a hybrid of her two former owners; being used for simple relaxing day cruises as well as extended living for long weekends; cruising along the Connecticut shoreline and around the Atlantic Ocean to Marthas Vineyard, Nantucket, Newport and Block Island, Fisher’s Island, and the swanky eastern Long Island town of Sag Harbor, NY
She offers a cruising speed of 6.8 knots for sailors to enjoy, which is a nice speed for a boat of this size; she has a strong ability to handle the waters which creates a calming sense of safety when sailing her, making her a perfect ride for younger riders.
Her max draft is only 4’6’ which makes it a breeze to be able to travel her in shallow waters and to dock inland without worry/concern.
Want to stop and do some swimming in ocean waters along the way, this beauty offers a walk-through transom with a swim platform, making entering and exiting the boat simple and hassle free. Once you’ve taken a nice adventurous swim in the ocean, and you need to rinse the salty water off your skin, there’s a transom and cockpit shower at your disposal that offers both hot and cold water.
Feeling courageous? Go ahead and sit on the bow pulpit seat that extends over the anchor while cruising on the water and feel the breeze roll on by, that’s an experience like no other; especially on a clear sunny day with nothing but blue skies all around.
In the evening, the deck converts into an outdoor dining space with bench seats and the fold-down teak cockpit table: pull out the barbeque grill, cook up some food, and watch the sunset; and then just relax under the stars being grateful for a beautiful day spent cruising with the people you love, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
The current owners have done her right by bringing her up to speed for the sailor of the 21st century; refitting her with a new head, holding tank, macerator, y-valve, and plumbing. In addition, she has new electronics, autopilot, Chartplotter, stereo, VHF, batteries (3), standing rigging & lifelines; as well as porthole lenses for crisp clear viewing outside while camped inside the cabin. The interior lighting, the running lights, and the Masthead light are all refitted with LED lights providing for better security while traveling.
This a great vessel that is ready to go to wherever her next owner takes her!
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
A simlar version sold as the MOORINGS 335.
At this time, this and other Hunter’s were available with several different keels including std.fin keel, ‘bulb wing’. ‘elliptical wing’ and ‘Collins tandem keel’.
