The Hunter 33 is an American sailboat that was designed by John Cherubini and first built in 1977.
The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 33, but is often confused with the 2004 Hunter 33-2004, which was also sold as the Hunter 33, and the 2012 Hunter E33, which is in production as the Marlow-Hunter 33.
Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Hunter 33 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 10,600 lb (4,808 kg) and carries 4,100 lb (1,860 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the standard keel and 4.0 ft (1.2 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is fitted with an inboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
With the standard keel the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 144 with a high of 150 and low of 141. With the shoal draft keel the design has a PHRF average handicap of 165 with a high of 174 and low of 156. Both configurations have hull speeds of 6.97 kn (12.91 km/h).
