Columbia 33 Caribbean
Description
The Columbia 33 Caribbean is a classic American sailboat designed by naval architect Wirth Munroe as a seaworthy deep-water cruiser, emphasizing stability and offshore capability. It was produced from 1963–1965 (61 hulls built; now out of production). It evolved from the earlier Arco 33 (built by Crystaliner starting in 1959), with the same hull molds. In 1966, it was refined into the Columbia 34 by incorporating a new deck design from the Columbia 40.
