About the FJORD 33 MS
The Fjord 33 MS is a robust, heavy-displacement cruising sloop designed by Eivind Amble and built by Fjord Plast, with production records indicating a build year of 1970. With a displacement of 15432.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 35.27, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize safety, comfort, and carrying capacity over speed, making it a strong candidate for bluewater passages and liveaboard use.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.69 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 317.56, the Fjord 33 MS is well-regarded for offshore capability, offering excellent 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 configurations, and a focus on safe, comfortable offshore cruising from the same era.
