About the GREYHOUND 33
The Greyhound 33 is a 32.97 ft masthead sloop designed by W. Jenneskens and built in 1975. With a displacement of 8598.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 19.19, this vessel represents a specific era of European design, though the exact number of hulls built remains unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 32.97 ft LOA with a moderate 5.58 ft max draft for access to varied shorelines. Its 16.94 SA/D ratio suggests it is well-suited for those who enjoy spirited sailing in moderate winds rather than heavy-weather endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.05 and a displacement of 8598.0 lb, the Greyhound 33 offers reasonable offshore stability, though its single production year and unknown build count suggest limited long-term structural data for serious bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1970s European 30-33 ft fin-keel sloops with similar displacement and beam characteristics, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 33 or Beneteau First 33. These models share the same era's emphasis on performance-oriented hull forms and masthead rigs.
