The C&C SR 33 is a racing sailboat that was designed by Glenn Henderson and first built in 1992.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was initially built by Henderson himself and he completed about two examples starting in 1992. The design and tooling was then sold to the Canada company C&C Yachts, who built about six more. Only eight boats were completed in total.[1][3][4]

Design

The SR 33 is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting fin keel. It displaces 5,372 lb (2,437 kg).[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 7.00 ft (2.13 m) with the lifting keel extended and 3.90 ft (1.19 m) with it retracted.[1][3]

The boat may be optionally fitted with an inboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 26 U.S. gallons (98 L; 22 imp gal).[1][3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 75 with a high of 81 and low of 69. It has a hull speed of 7.05 kn (13.06 km/h).[5][3]
