About the KALIK 33
Originally designed as IOR 3/4 ton. Later called KALIK 103 and Q33. Aft cabin version (KALIK 33 AC). Some were sold to the charter trade as the OCEAN 33. Thanks to Jan Derks for additional information.
The Kalik 33 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Jac. de Ridder and built by Lewin/FF Boats, with production records indicating a single build year of 1977. While the exact total hull count is unverified in available data, the vessel is characterized by a heavy displacement of 10670.0 lb and a fin keel configuration.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable platform for shorthanded sailing, given its high comfort ratio of 23.77 and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 16.3.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.99 and substantial ballast of 4849.5 lb, the Kalik 33 demonstrates strong inherent stability and offshore potential, provided critical structural integrity issues are addressed.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels from this era include the Cal 34 and O'Day 36, which share similar beam dimensions (approx. 10.93 ft) and heavy displacement characteristics, though the Kalik's specific Jac. de Ridder design offers distinct performance traits.
