The Nonsuch 33 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Mark Ellis Design and first built in 1988.[1][2][3]

The Nonsuch 33 is a development of the Nonsuch 30, which was the first design in the series of Nonsuch sailboats.[1][3]

Production

The design was built by Hinterhoeller Yachts in Canada and a few have also been built by Wiggers Custom Yachts, who currently hold the molds. A total of 67 examples of the design have been completed.[1][3][4][5]

Design

The Nonsuch 33 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a cat rig, an unstayed mast with a wishbone boom, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 15,350 lb (6,963 kg) and carries 6,050 lb (2,744 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel and 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3JH2T-BE diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 96 U.S. gallons (360 L; 80 imp gal).[1][3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 171 with a high of 171 and low of 168. It has a hull speed of 7.52 kn (13.93 km/h).[3][6]
