Overview

NEW PRICE. “Grayling” is an Ocean Winds 33 catamaran designed by Pat Patterson and built by

Symon’s Boatyard in Plymouth England in 1979. Patterson took an Ocean Winds and followed Drakes circumnavigation route around the world, via Magellan Straits. This is documented in book of voyage, “In The Wake Of Drake”, which is included in onboard library. It is a very study boat and comfortable for a cruising couple or live aboard with a surprising amount of room and storage for a 33 ft boat. Size makes it easier and less expensive to find dock space and to repair. It will fit most marina travel lifts.

 Shallow draft and shorter mast allows access to places many sailboats can’t go. Well protected cockpit and large deck space are appreciated under sail and at anchor. “Grayling” has often been a popular gathering spot for sundowners and shared meals when sailing with groups. 2 stateroom design with one that can be converted to office/workshop space.
