I had a discussion the other day with someone and we were discussing sailing accomplishments of the cherubini h33's. Where have you sailed yours? Any blue water sailors? Caribbean? Bahamas? ICW?

I have seen an H33 in St. Vincent, full time cruising. I think if I still had mine I would take her just about anywhere.

not far...but

I wish I could be of more help, but since I suffer from the affliction of a very time demanding job, I don't get to go as far as I'd like.
The wife and I try to make at least two New London, CT to Block Island trips per season, and another two to Shelter Island. Of course there's a lot of daysailing thrown into the mix as well.
If I had the time, I'd like to venture North as far as Maine, or heading South, go for Florida and the Keys. I went to school in Maine and there's some absolutely gorgeous sailing country up there.
I have great confidence in the integrity of my boat, a 1979 H33. She may be old, but she holds her age well. Although the boat hasn't seen any real bluewater, the captain has (including charter and delivery work).

Took my 82 33 from Jax Fla to Hopetown, Bahamas in '91. We both were younger and in better shape. She handled it well, but is not really made for blue water.

I was wondering how many people sailed the Bahamas and the Carib. Thanks for the input.

At sort of the opposite end of American geography, we have had ours halfway up the BC coast from Seattle, and around Vancouver Island once. Previous owner took her to Alaska and back. No complaints. She isn't a bluewater boat by any conventional definition but she held up very well in some dicey situations and some pretty remote places.
