The Columbia 33 Caribbean is an American sailboat that was designed by Wirth Munroe as deep water cruiser and first built in 1963.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The Columbia 33 Caribbean is a development of the Arco 33, which was built by Crystaliner, who completed 15 examples in 1959, before selling the molds to Columbia Yachts.[1] [4] [5]
The Columbia 33 Caribbean design was developed into the Columbia 34 in 1966 with the addition of a new deck adapted from the Columbia 40 design.[1] [4] [6] [7]
The Columbia 33 Caribbean design was built by Columbia Yachts, who built 61 examples between 1963 and 1965, but it is now out of production.[1] [4] [8]
The Columbia 33 Caribbean is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 110000NaN0 and carries 42000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [4]
The boat has a draft of 7feet with the centreboard extended and 3.5feet with it retracted. The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 300NaN0 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering.[1] [4]
