The US Yachts US 33 is an American sailboat that was designed by Doug Peterson as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1981.[1][2]

The US Yachts US 33 is an unauthorized development of Peterson's International Offshore Rule Three-Quarter Ton class Chaser 33 racer, using the same hull design from the original molds and a new deck, but with no royalties paid.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by US Yachts in the United States, between 1981 and 1983, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]

Design

The US Yachts US 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,300 lb (4,218 kg) and carries 4,600 lb (2,087 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of 13 hp (10 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 29 U.S. gallons (110 L; 24 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a V-shaped settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side amidships and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. The head is located next to the companionway steps, on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 74 in (188 cm).[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.9 kn (12.8 km/h).[2]
