The Arco 33 is an American sailboat that was designed by Wirth Munroe as a cruiser and first built in 1958. The design is noted as one of the first fiberglass production sailboats of its size built.[1] [2] [3]
The design was built by Crystaliners Corporation (Glassco Inc.) in Miami, Florida, United States. The company completed 15 boats starting in 1958, but it is now out of production.[1] [3]
The Arco 33 molds were later sold to Columbia Yachts and the design was developed into the Columbia 33 Caribbean in 1963.[1] [3] [4]
The Arco 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional yawl rig with the addition of a mizzen mast. Features include a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 120000NaN0.[1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 6.5feet with the centreboard extended and 3.5feet with it retracted.[1] [3]
The boat is fitted with a Palmer H-60 220NaN0 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]
