The first 25 was designed by Robert Seidelman along with some help from his good sailing buddy John Cherubini. Seidelman, seeing the success of his 25 went off to start his own company that eventualyy went beely up. John, however stayed with Hunter from the beginning until around 1983 when his health began to fail and he eventually passed away. The Seidelman 25 has a different deck layout than "most" of the Cherubini Hunters except the 77 & 78 33. The deck layout looks a little like the Seidelman 25 but this boat was designed by John Cherubini. In 1977 Hunter marine called it a John Cherubini "Masterpiece". Although some headroom was sacrificed, the older 33 are one sleek "racey" looking boat with the same cabin layout as all the rest of the Cherubini Hunter 33s. I'd love to hear from other owners of these unique, rare early H-33s. Don Bodemann soon to be owner of a ....you guessed it..a 1977 H-33!!!

Not to burst youur bubble ....but

For the last week or so I have been seeing an ad in the NY Newsday (Long Island)regarding an 84 H33 for sale. The ad reads that the partnership is "Kaput". I don't think it is just a partnership share but rather the complete boat. It is advertised for 10K. That's an amazing price.

At our marina there is a Siedelmann 38 that has been for sale for at least three years. It is a very well worn but very nice boat. Nobody will touch it because as you mention, no more Siedelmann.

78 Hunter 33

I purchased a 78 hunter 33 this past december and love it. It took me awhile to figure out the story of why it doesn't look anything like the others but i've got it down now and am happy i've got the one i do. It may look like a C&C but its allot lighter an sails more like a good Frers. Hope your enjoying yours. Ben
