The design is a development of the Laguna 33, using the same molds, which Classic Yachts acquired after Laguna Yachts went out of business.[1][2]
Production
The design was built by Classic Yachts in Chanute, Kansas, United States, starting in 1995, but it is now out of production. It is not known how many were completed before Classic Yachts closed down in 2000.[1][2][5][6]
Design
The Classic 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,590 lb (4,350 kg) and carries 3,050 lb (1,383 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW) for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.03 kn (13.02 km/h).[2]
