LAGUNA 33

About the LAGUNA 33

Based on the LAGUNA 30 but with extended reverse transom. Later this version probably became the CLASSIC 33, of which, only a few were built.

The Laguna 33 is a 1986 production model designed by W. Shad Turner and built by Laguna Yachts (USA), with the total number of hulls built remaining unconfirmed in available data. This single-year production run represents a specific era of American yacht building, characterized by a masthead sloop rig and a displacement of 9590.0 lb.

Best for:

This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-performance racing, given its moderate Comfort ratio of 21.74 and D/L ratio of 205.86. It is well-suited for owners willing to perform routine maintenance on the hull and rigging, as indicated by the high frequency of reported bottom paint applications and sail replacements.

Bluewater capability:

With a Capsize ratio of 2.01 and a displacement of 9590.0 lb, the Laguna 33 exhibits moderate offshore stability, though its single-year production and reported hull blisters suggest it is better suited for protected coastal waters than extended bluewater passages.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Cal 34 and O'Day 35, which share similar beam dimensions (10.67 ft) and displacement ranges from the mid-1980s. These vessels are comparable because they offer similar interior volumes and cruising-oriented performance profiles, often featuring Universal or Perkins engines.
