About the BANDHOLM 33
Main sail area: 30 m² / 322.9 ft²
The Bandholm 33 is a rare Danish cruiser designed by Knud Olsen and built by Bandholm Yachts between 1987 and 1992, with only 30 hulls constructed. Its scarcity and specific production window make it a unique find in the used market, requiring careful verification of its limited availability.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and light offshore adventurers who value a compact, well-proportioned fractional sloop layout. Its moderate displacement and beam make it manageable for couples or small families seeking a comfortable, non-racing cruising experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 10031.03 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.83, the Bandholm 33 offers reasonable stability for coastal and protected offshore passages, though its light displacement suggests it is best suited for moderate conditions rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 33 and the Hallberg-Rassy 33, as they share similar lengths, fractional sloop rigs, and cruising-oriented designs from the late 1980s. These vessels offer similar interior volumes and performance characteristics for coastal passage-making.
