Some know the 33.5 as the model 335. there were some 600 of the 33/33.5s built. Several keel configurations were supposedly available: fin keel, bulb wing, elliptical wing, and Collins tandem keel. However, it is believed that nearly all of the 33.5's were built with the shoal draft (4 feet 6 inches) bulb wing keel, which this boat has. The hulls were hand-laid E-glass with polyester resin. They were solid, meaning no core material. The cabin trunk is relatively low, facilitating good forward visibility underway. Aluminum toe-rails edge the deck, with stainless steel pulpits at both ends and double lifelines between them. There are two small lockers on the transom swim platform and two in the cockpit in each aft corner, which house the batteries. There is one big cockpit locker to starboard. Between the mid-boom traveler just ahead of the companionway and the mast is a flat area clear of hardware that is perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Going below, the first impression is a lot of wood and a lot of light. There are plenty of opening hatches that let in light, as well as windows on the cabin trunk sides. The first step is on top of a hinged cabinet/step. This makes a secure place to stand under sail as well. The hatch overhead is a dark acrylic plastic that slides into a sea hood. A light cream-colored padded vinyl covers non-wood surfaces that lend to the airiness of the cabin. The forward cabin has a generous V-berth with cabinets and door. it is adequate for changing clothes with the door closed. The aft "guest" cabin has a larger berth. Below the cushions is access to the engine-cooling through-hull, water strainers, fuel filter, prop shaft, and stuffing box. Other cabinets and engine access are found here as well. The saloon features a wraparound dining table, which lowers to create a berth for two, while the port settee makes a berth once the back cushions are removed. Storage is abundant. The U-shaped galley takes up the aft starboard area, with plenty of workspace. The head/shower is to starboard with a vanity opposite. The head itself has a big lid over it.
