About the DELPHIA 33
Swing keel model also available. A later model, the DEPHIA 33.3, appears to be similar.
The Delphia 33 is a fractional sloop designed by Andrzej Skrzat and built by Delphia Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 2008. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in available data, this model represents a specific era of European construction characterized by a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a beam of 11.42 ft.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable platform with a moderate comfort ratio of 21.81, rather than high-performance racing or extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.03 and a displacement/length ratio of 167.7, the boat offers reasonable offshore stability, though its single build year and specific structural concerns suggest it is better suited for protected waters than heavy ocean passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 33 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 33, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, beam dimensions around 11-12 ft, and target the same recreational cruising market.
