DerekIs a 330 the same as a 33? I am trying to install a windvane on my CD 33 and it has been measured for a CD 330. Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers.

As far as I can tell there were three different 33's. They are:
1. The Alberg designed 33. From my 85 catalog it had a traditional
straight cockpit well area, small enclosed head on the port side,
"L" shaped galley area on the portside. Cutter rig with 546 sq
feet of sail.
2. The Alberg designed 330. From my 87 catalog it has the same hull
and sail area. However, the cockpit and interior was totally
redesigned. To give more room in the cockpit the foot well was
given a "T" shape. This gave more room for the helmsperson. The
head was moved to the starboard side and the galley "L" was changed
so that the galley ran straight along the portside. This version
of the boat was just to make the boat more spacious like some of
the CD40 features. I believe the basic hull, displacement, sail
area all remained the same.
3. The Alberg desinged "33 Classic" as made by Newport Ship. It has
all the same specs as the #1 and #2 CD33s above EXCEPT the sail
area was increased from 546 to 561 square feet. I do not know if
this was a rebalancing of the main to stay sail/foresail or if the
all the sail areas increased. Also I do not have enough info to
tell you if the cockpit remained in the "T" form with the newer
interior. The hull specs still remained the same as above.
Hope it helps.....
