Cherubini H33
The cherubini 33 is a good boat, capable and fast. Properly sailed it will never embarass. In December, I sailed my 79 H33 with a cold front from north side of Choctawhatchee bay out at Destin and in at Venice, about 350 land miles in only a bit over two days. From Venice we sailed on to Dry Tortugas. In may and june it took me from the Panhandle to the Abacos in the Bahamas and back with only a shifter cable dislocation for trouble for the entire trip. The H33 has lots of good features. solid stainless steel rudder shaft, lead keel, stainless rudder tube with packing nut, a good single handing cockpit arrangement, aft head that's really usable, good head room throughout, serious design features for offshore sailing like small cockpit, high companionway bridge, plenty of handholds in cabin and with galley, head and cabin spaces confined enough to wedge yourself in when necessary. there is even a very useful built in leeboard for the port cabin bunk. The folding rotating table works in about a half dozen different configuration to use the cabin and galley space to best advantage, the deck stepped mast is not prone to the structural problems common to some other deck stepped designs, all the toerail bolts are fairly easily accessible from below...it goes on and on. Any boat that old of course needs a good examination by a competent authority to determine physical condition and uncover problems. You can find out pretty anything you need to know by looking under boat information on this site for the H33 and by searching the archives.
