Well, I did the sea trial of the '78 Y33. Backing out of the slip and moving toward the harbor entrance was uneventful. A little different than I am used to since this boat had a tiller. Out of the harbor and into open sea, the boat was sluggish and slow to respond. Might be because it was 10,000 pounds and I am use to sailing a 4600 pound boat. Winds were light, less that 5mph and the boat never really got moving. I can see that this boat is not a light-wind boat. But as the wind picked up to around 8, she started to really take on speed. I found myself fighting the tiller as we were moving through the water. I don't have that issue with a wheel, so I wonder if the rudder was a little loose. Tacking was easy because the tiller would kind of fight me so I didn't over compensate during the tack. Heading back in, it was hard to see over the dodger and I had to stand on the seats just to get some height. I have the same issue with my other boat but I don't have a dodger. It is usually the main sail that blocks my vision. Over all, I was impressed with the boat. However, I did not get a warm and fuzzy so I will pass on this boat. I hate to do that because it is in the marina I want to be in (my other boat is 52 miles south) and the slip location is perfect. But the ends do not justify the means. I will have to keep searching for something I feel a little more comfortable in.
