CD-33 Bandolera II Slideshow

For winter viewing... this is my 1982 Bandolera II a CD-33 which I sail in Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys. The faithful "Goldie" never lets us down (Universal 5424 diesel), and this boat is a pleasure to sail. She is my pride and joy. I sail her by myself most of the time and do most of the maintenance as well. So I have become very familiar with the boat inside and out. Love her. Hope you enjoy this little presentation. I keep it on my iPad with me at all times, so even if I am not close by, I can still "see" her, for I get separation anxiety when I am not with her.

Some time ago I was fortunate to be able to sail on Biscayne Bay aboard S/V Bandolera II for a few hours with Zeida. Wonderful sail, Zeida is a wonderful person, I had a great time.

While the photos/video show S/V Bandolera II to be "Bristol" inside and out you cannot begin to appreciate how "Bristol" until you are actually onboard. "Goldie" (the name of her engine) has an engine sump that is so clean you could eat food on it. The cabin sole was/is spotless.

I am hopeful of someday again sailing on S/V Bandolera II or perhaps having a match race with my baby, S/V Bai Ha'i.

Very Nice slide show Zeida. Bandolera II continues to inspire. I like some of the little touches you've done, like the metal aft cowl vents and CD logo on the cockpit table. Your engine room is still the Gold standard! I too love Femme's old Universal 5424 but I admit its locale needs some community investment. After the self steering priority is complete, it should come next!

Keep sailing,

Very impressive. A lot of care and work went into that boat. Beautiful - with the possible exception of the fish toilet seat cover!

Hi
I own a cd 33 sailboat and wondered if you could send specs and pics of your cockpit sole hatch.
A picture or two showing how the cover fits over the opening would be great
Your boat looks great!
