About the BUCCANEER 335
Tooling for the hull probably the same as that used for CHASER 33 (Peterson 3/4 ton) but with modifications including an entirely different deck, keel and rudder. Another later version was the US 33.
The Buccaneer 335 is a 32.83 ft masthead sloop designed by D. Peterson (unauthorized)/Bayliner and built by Bayliner Marine Corp (USA) in 1978. With a displacement of 9300.0 lb and a beam of 10.5 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of American production cruising yachts.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over extreme offshore performance, given its moderate comfort ratio of 22.08 and single-year production run.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.0 and a D/L ratio of 223.1, the Buccaneer 335 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than heavy offshore passages, reflecting its design as a stable but not heavily displacement-driven cruiser.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 34 and O'Day 36, as they share similar beam dimensions, displacement ranges, and the role of comfortable, stable coastal cruisers from the late 1970s.
