Hunter 33 Sailboat
The Hunter 33 is a part of Hunter Marine’s extensive American sailboat series. It was designed by John Cherubini and manufactured by the Hunter Marine in 1977. It is often confused with the company’s very own Hunter 33 introduced in 2004 and Hunter E33 that was introduced in 2012. Both these keelboats were initially marketed and sold as the Hunter 33; however, they were renamed to settle the confusion. Though the Hunter 33 is now out of production, it remains a thrilling cruising companion for avid and seasonal sailors.

The forestay and backstay are attached at the top of the mast and form a mainsail area of 199.31 sq. ft.
