Difference between 33 and 36

Post by Tony Betz »

Would appreciate commentary on the various differences between these two boats. The three feet seems to be used by lengthening the head area and for additional drawers in the v-berth area. Are the cockpits the same? Would characteristics be any different in 8-12 foot seas?

It looks as though the stern section of the 36 is finer, almost as though the 33 were extended and narrowed down. It looks more graceful and may add reserve buoyancy.

Tony - If the idea of a larger V-berth and head are appealing to you then perhaps you should also look at the 330. The 330 utilizes the same cockpit design as the 36 and offers the larger head and forward berths. The 330 does give up the aft berth, but the cabin feels an bit roomier than the standard 33.

Just more items to confuse you.
