The Watkins 33, also marketed as the Seawolf 33, is an American sailboat that was designed by William H. Tripp Jr and Watkins Yachts as a cruiser and first built in 1984.[1][2][3][4]
The Watkins 33 is a development of the Watkins 32, with a reverse transom and a revised interior.[1][4]
Production
The design was built by Watkins Yachts in the United States from 1984 until 1989, with 47 examples built, but it is now out of production.[1][4][5]
Design
The Watkins 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 11,200 lb (5,080 kg) and carries 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) of ballast.[1][4]
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][4]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal).[1][4]
The design has a hull speed of 6.91 kn (12.80 km/h).[4]
Operational history
The boat is supported by an active class club, the Watkins Owners.[6]
