1989 Nonsuch 33

New Bern, North Carolina

A distinctive cruising sailboat that delivers remarkable room, simplicity and sailing ability in just 33 feet.

ARAWAK is a 1989 Nonsuch 33, combining the celebrated Nonsuch cat-rigged sailing concept with an exceptionally spacious cruising interior, large cockpit and easily managed sail plan.

For sailors accustomed to conventional sloops, the Nonsuch is refreshingly different. Her freestanding aluminum mast, wishbone boom and single large mainsail eliminate much of the standing rigging, headsail handling and foredeck work associated with a traditional cruising sailboat. The result is a boat designed around simple sail handling, an uncluttered deck and comfortable short-handed cruising.

Belowdecks, the 12'6" beam produces interior volume that feels much larger than one expects from a 33-footer. ARAWAK offers a remarkably open salon, extensive teak cabinetry, generous seating, a proper cruising galley, private head with shower, forward double berth and an additional aft double berth.

She is powered by a 40-hp Universal M35V diesel driving a desirable Max-Prop feathering propeller. Cruising equipment includes reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat, Raymarine electronics and autopilot, electric primary winch, 96 gallons of freshwater capacity and a 40-gallon diesel tank.

ARAWAK is now located in New Bern, North Carolina, and deserves serious consideration from anyone looking for a roomy coastal cruiser, comfortable liveaboard, or easily handled sailing yacht with genuine character.
