About the EBBTIDE 33
Oceancraft Traviling Quay Wadebridge, Cornwall UK
The Ebbtide 33 is a heavy-displacement cutter designed by Alan Pape and built by Oceancraft (UK) in 1982. With a displacement of 17770.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 44.22, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and conservative bluewater passagemakers who prioritize safety, comfort, and offshore capability over speed or easy single-handed handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.56 and a high D/L ratio of 438.58, the Ebbtide 33 is well-regarded for offshore suitability, offering exceptional stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 33 and the Tartan 33, as they share similar heavy displacement, full keel designs, and a focus on robust offshore construction from the early 1980s.
