About the MARIEHOLM 33
The original Swedish version was called the FORTISSIMO The only Marieholm boat made in the Netherlands.
Designed by Lars-Olof Norlin and built by Marieholm (NL) in 1975, the Marieholm 33 is a robust fractional sloop with a full/long keel. With a displacement of 11243.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 31.03, it offers a stable, heavy-displacement cruising experience, though the exact number of hulls built remains unconfirmed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits traditional cruisers who prioritize sea-keeping stability and comfort over raw speed, making it ideal for coastal and offshore passages where a full keel provides directional stability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.76 and a D/L ratio of 362.17, the Marieholm 33 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering excellent stability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1970s European full-keel cruisers like the Hallberg-Rassy 33 or Nautor's Swan 36, these boats share similar heavy displacement, long keel designs, and a focus on safe, comfortable offshore passage making.
