About the MARINER 33 (CHERUBINI)
The Mariner 33 is a rare, single-year production vessel designed by John Cherubini and built by Mariner Yachts in 1982, with only 55 hulls constructed. Its limited production run and specific design lineage make it a unique entry in the 1980s cruiser market.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 33.5 ft LOA and a comfortable 21.45 comfort ratio for short passages. Its relatively light displacement of 9300.0 lb makes it accessible for small crews or single-handers seeking ease of handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.02 and a displacement of 9300.0 lb, the Mariner 33 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio suggest stability in moderate conditions but limited reserve buoyancy for heavy offshore seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1980s fin-keel sloops of similar length, such as the Catalina 33 or O'Day 35, which share the masthead sloop rig and similar beam dimensions. These vessels offer similar interior volumes and performance characteristics for coastal cruising.
