San Juan 33 S
Description
The San Juan 33S (sometimes stylized as San Juan 33 S) is a high-performance fractional sloop designed by David Pedrick as a racer-cruiser, built by the Clark Boat Company in Kent, Washington, USA, from 1981 to 1982. With only about 20–30 units produced, it's a rare gem in the San Juan lineup, emphasizing speed and agility over volume—evolving from the Bruce Kirby-era models with a narrower beam for better upwind performance. Its lightweight fiberglass hull, deep fin keel, and spade rudder make it a club racer favorite, while the reverse transom and raked stem add a sleek, modern look.
