The Hunter 33-2, also referred to as the Hunter 33-2004, is an American sailboat, that was designed by Glenn Henderson and first built in 2004.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

The design was marketed as the Hunter 33, but is referred to as the Hunter 33-2004 or 33-2, to differentiate it from the other models that Hunter Marine has marketed under the same name, including the 1977 Hunter 33 and the 2012 Hunter E33, which remained in production in 2018 as the Marlow-Hunter 33.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 2004 and 2012, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [7]

Design

The Hunter 33-2 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. The hull has a solid fiberglass monolithic bottom, with sandwich sides. The deck is a balsa and polyester fiberglass sandwich, with Kevlar reinforcing.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The design has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel. The mast is deck-stepped and made from aluminum. A mast-furling mainsail was an option. With the fin keel it displaces 102690NaN0 and carries 35780NaN0 of ballast. With the wing keel it displaces 104100NaN0 and carries 34590NaN0 of cast iron ballast. The below decks headroom is 6.332NaN2[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The boat has a draft of 5.5feet with the fin keel and 4.5feet with the optional shoal draft wing keel.[2] [3] [5]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 210NaN0. A 290NaN0 engine was a factory option. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The design has a hull speed of 7.272NaN2.[1] [2] [3]
