US Yacht 33, 1981

Yes, this beautiful boat is for sail. She’s a rarity; you’ll find the odd one in the Caribbean. They were built from 25-33 feet for a few years in the 1980s, on a Buccaneer pattern, a Doug Peterson design.

I love this boat. Sometimes it’s just time to move on.
This boat is fast, demanding however to be very accurately sailed. “There’s always something with a boat” and I’ve got a lot of other somethings in my life. And if my joints were ten years younger, it might be another story.
