Carter 33

This gorgeous, beautifully maintained classic sloop is an eye-catcher and a joy to sail.  

A recent inspection revealed this boat to be in above average condition and compared it to similar Tartan, Sabre and Morgan vessels. The teak cockpit has teak backrests for crew. All crew can easily visualize chart plotter and electronics information. A large 12 inch Raymarine Axiom chart plotter is at the bulkhead and 2 new customizable Raymarine i70 multifunction instrument displays show wind, depth, speed and much more information. At the helm, there is a 7 inch Raymarine Axiom chart plotter. 

Manage the helm easily even singlehanded with the high-performance Raymarine autopilot installed belowdecks. In-mast furling mainsail and roller furling for your choice of the standard 155  or 135 racing genoa make sail-handling easy even in heavy air. 

The interior is warm and comfortable, with teak and holly sole, center table with folding leaves, and plenty of storage. 2 large hanging lockers lead from the saloon to the v berth. There is an electric macerating head, and hot/cold shower.
