About the SATURNA 33
Garden design #611. Originally the TRUANT 33 built by Truant Marine, BC, CA. (1977) It is said a small number were built in California by North Coast Yachts between 1979 and 1982 The tooling was acquired by Saturna Yachts of Saanichton, BC.(1981?) For the SATURNA 33 the deck and coach roof were re-designed (by W. Garden) Available as Pilothouse (shown) or Offshore versions. The deck , hull and other various components were sold separately if requested. The molds were later acquired by Wiggers Custom Yachts where a few more were built. It is thought that less than 50 boats were completed to this basic design. Thanks to Saturna owner, Bob Coulson, for providing additional information. Additional thanks to Saturna (hull #18) owner John Ellis for further clarifications.
