Santa Cruz 33
Description
The Santa Cruz 33 represents Bill Lee's masterful evolution of his revolutionary ultralight displacement philosophy, successfully scaling the "fast is fun" concept to a size that provides genuine cruising comfort without sacrificing the exhilarating performance that made Santa Cruz boats legendary. Through thoughtful integration of enhanced accommodations, improved stability, and maintained performance characteristics, this design proved that sailors didn't have to choose between speed and comfort. Whether seeking competitive racing success, spirited coastal cruising, or simply the pure joy of fast sailing with friends and family, the Santa Cruz 33 delivers an authentic connection to one of sailing's most transformative design philosophies while providing the space and amenities necessary for extended adventures on the water. Built by Santa Cruz Yachts starting in 1976.
