Raider 33
Description
The Raider 33 is an American mid-sized cruising sailboat designed by John Cherubini and constructed by Raider Yachts Inc. from 1977 to 1983. This 33-foot vessel represents Cherubini's expertise in creating practical coastal cruisers that balance sailing performance with comfortable accommodations. Built with fiberglass construction featuring a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration and masthead sloop rig, the boat was designed specifically for coastal cruising applications where comfort and seaworthiness were prioritized alongside good sailing performance. Her generous sail plan delivers excellent light-air performance, making her a capable coastal cruiser with the ability to handle longer passages comfortably. With only 29 boats built during its six-year production run, the Raider 33 has become a sought-after design among performance-oriented cruising sailors who appreciate Cherubini's thoughtful approach to balancing speed and comfort in a manageable mid-sized package.
