TheSan Juan 33S (sometimes just called theSan Juan 33) is an Americansailboat that was designed byDavid Pedrick asracer and first built in 1981.[1][2][3]
The design was built by theClark Boat Company inKent, Washington,United States from 1981 to 1982, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
The San Juan 33S is a recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly offiberglass. It has afractionalsloop rig withaluminum spars, araked stem, areverse transom, an internally mounted spade-typerudder controlled by atiller and a fixed finkeel. It displaces 5,700 lb (2,585 kg) and carries 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The boat may be optionally fitted with aninboard engine for docking and maneuvering. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 9 U.S. gallons (34 L; 7.5 imp gal).[1][3]
Agalley is optional and can include a two-burner stove. Ahead is also optional and can be a marine type or portable. If fitted, it is located in the bow. Sleeping accommodation consists of four single settee berths, along with sail storage space.[3]
For sailing allhalyards are led to the cockpit. The cockpit also has six winches, two primary, two secondary and two for thespinnaker. Themainsail features amainsheet traveler,jiffy reefing and a reefing flattening system. The boat is also equipped with aboom vang, an internal mainsailouthaul and an optionaljib headfoil (aheadsailairfoil-shaped reinforcement). Thestanding rigging is of steel rod and there is an adjustable splitbackstay to shape the highly flexible mast.[3]
The design has aPortsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 76.2.[3]
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "this San Juan is designed for racing, and accommodations are somewhat austere. She is ultra light. The fractional rig allows for a larger-than-normal mainsail; the smaller foresails are easier to handle. The unusually narrow beam means that initial stability is limited, but the ballast/displacement ratio of 60 percent is very high. The designer claims that the only need for a genoa to replace the self-tending jib is in very light airs."[3]
