 One of the last and largest of the van Essen Contests, she enjoyed some success in this country. Rated a fast cruising yacht rather than a cruiser-racer, she is well mannered, easy on the helm and reasonably quick. Fine ends and a modest beam mean comparatively small accommodation, laid out in typical early 1970s style. The galley is cramped and the original cooker inadequate, while the gas locker was hazardous. LOA 32ft 4in (9.83m), LWL 25ft 11 in (7.90m), beam 10ft 4in (3.15m), draught 4ft 11 in (1.5Dm), displacement 9,3691b (4,250kg). Price guide: £14,000 to £22,000. YM Test Report February 1972. The Contest 33 is a 32.25ft masthead sloop designed by U. Van Essen/Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1970 and 1975.188 units have been built.. The Contest 33 is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all. The interior is like many other boats made of mahogany. Mahogany belongs to the hardwood species, known for being water-repellent and resistant to decay. It has an attractive wood grain and holds wood polish and varnish well. The boat is equipped with 0 cabins, 6 berths, a galley, 167.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility. The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment. The Contest 33 has been built with more than one type of keel. One option is a long keel. A long keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space. Another option is a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel. The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.67 - 1.77 meter (5.48 - 5.78 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below. Contest 33 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD2B diesel engine at 25.0 hp (18 kW), which gives a max speed about 5.6 knots. The fuel tank has a capacity of 83.0 liters (21 US gallons, 18 imperial gallons). Sailing characteristicsThis section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats. What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)? The capsize screening value for Contest 33 is 1.83, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races. What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed? The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.8 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed. The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Contest 33 is about 166 kg/cm, alternatively 933 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 166 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 933 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch. Sailing statisticsThis section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points. What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)? What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)? What is a Ballast Ratio? What is Displacement Length Ratio? What is Relative Speed Performance? MaintenanceWhen buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 29m 2 (312 ft 2 ).

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds

Bluewater - 1980 Hunter 33 or 1973 Contest 33I am very close to buying. I really want help! All things being equal. Is their a serious quality difference between these? Contest is made by Conyplex/ContestYachts.com and we all know Hunter. The Hunter was cruised before Belize, Costa Rica but is that a lot of wear and tear. I need the boat for serious, long term crusing/liveaboard in the Caribbean., but not much moving around. I'm retired and in don't have to sail every week even, maybe once a month. These are in my price range (real cheap) and motivated sellers. Thanks for all help.  I'd vote for the Contest - subject to survey. There is quite a serious difference between the two. If you're not moving around much, the Hunter would probably provide a lot more room. After a hurricane though, you might have more left with the Contest. As always the case with older boats, it really depends on the care the PO gave ether one. How about some pictures? You know how we all love that. Bog  Not sure where you are. Is this the Contest? 1974 Contest Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com Brian Attachments I'd think that the Contest would probably be a better choice. The Contest Pic should really work now! My attempt at showing the pictures of the Contest. Ebay links of pictures don't show right in this forum, therefore I'm sending the link to the closed auction. 1973 Contest 33 foot used sailboat,cruiser:eBay Motors (item 180427198211 end time Nov-18-09 18:00:00 PST) Sorry it was the wrong picture - I searched Yachtworld not Ebay. The Contest looks interesting. I agree the dc panel and wiring needs replacing but the interior looks pretty well kept. I also agree the propane has to be taken care of - new lines (from the new locker) would be a good idea as well. If you insure they will hate the water heater but they're ok if you don't insure and respect them. It's hard to tell from the picture but there looks like there is a vent above the water heater but if not it's installed where one could be added easily.Good sail selection and unlike most boats on Ebay at low prices this boat is in the water and used often. Engine sounds ok but should be checked out. It looks like it has had some use. The worst part of the boat seems to be the deck needing paint. That's mostly labour but not at this time of the year. If I was looking now and in that area I'd be interested. Looks pretty good at the asking price Do we get a link to the Hunter? Brian Hunter Website Here's are the Hunter details kind sir. 1980 Hunter sailboat for sale in South Carolina I was wondering what that white thing above the sink was. It may be European as I've seen on TV water heaters mounted on the kitchen wall. Most Americans don't have a grip on how really luxuriously we live what with whole house hot water. Okay, now what is the electronic looking gadget well above each midship berth? It almost touching the handrail on the ceiling, and one on each side? Marti The white thing above the sink is indeed a propane instant hot water heater. I mentioned it in my post. The electronic looking things on each side are stereo speakers. I think the Contest is the better boat - first impressions notwithstanding because of the paint prepped deck. I think the Contest has a better basic build, has a better sail selection, but it is older. Like others have said, it would depend on survey but if the Contest had no major issues I would think it the better choice. I didn't read that the Hunter had cruised the Caribbean. Did the owner write the ad? He should work for a New York ad agency! He did make one mistake - the battery for the Yanmar is a group 24 12 volt battery but he has it listed as a 24 volt battery. Brian  marti972 said: I spoke with the guy on the phone today. Part of me really wants his radar, Bimini, "spare outboard power", freezer, frig, scuba gear, furling jib, 5 house batteries, solar and mascerator. He's even throwing in the pots and pans! Click to expand...  Do not quote me on this, but is the 1980 version Hunter still one of the Cheribuni one? if so, those are pretty seaworth, and worth taking a gander at. A 38' cutter on my dock has been from seattle to mexico and back, 3 times, twice on its own hull, and once via truck, may go back again via truck. ONLY because the owner and spouse do not want to sail at there 60 something age. they have owned the boat since new in 78 or there abouts!?!?!?! Personally, those that I know that have Hunters, ALL like them! Yes they may be a chevy per say, maybe more a Kia or equal. but they do go forward more or less. Choose carefully! SOunds like the Hunter can cruise and gets from place to place! marty I agree with Adam. As far as I know it is a Cherubini designed Hunter, at least the other 1980 33' Hunter on Yachtworld is. I still think the Contest is a better boat but a lot would depend on condition and upkeep over the years. Pictures do lie - either a survey or a real good look by an experienced amateur would be required before making a decision on either in my opinion. I say experiences amateur because many wouldn't want to pay for a survey at these selling prices. I'd do my own survey but that's not for everybody. The Hunter is better equipped in some ways but there is a fair difference in sail wardrope with the Contest ahead there and sails are more expensive than macerators and used batteries. If all the gear is top notch on the Hunter and it is in good shape it should be priced higher. There are 3 1980 Hunter 33 on Yachtworld, priced at 14,900, 19,900, and 21,500. What I would ask myself is why both these boats are priced so low. The Contest owner is moving to Japan so wants to sell fast. What's the Hunter owner's reason? Brian marti Unless I was cruising in a fog ridden area (Maine), radar wouldn't be high on my list. Not much fog in paradise. Don't get me wrong, radar is nice, just way down the list if on a budget. Sails are at the top of the list as far as add ons go, on top of a good hull, deck, engine and rig. The rest is pretty much gravy, and in the case of the Hunter how used is it. If my engine was solid and reliable I would describe the outboard as for a dinghy even if it wasn't included - not as back up power. Maybe I'm too sceptical. I think I'd get an engine survey - not too many $ and probably a good idea. Brian  A couple quick points here, over the years my family has owned two Hunter 30's of this era (79, and 81) and a Contest that was just slightly older than the boat in question. I know both boats reasonably well. Although the Hunter 33 is sometimes attributed to Cherubini, everything that I was able to find suggests that it was not actually penned by him. In my experience with the Hunter 33 it was a far inferior design to either the Hunter 30 or Hunter 37 of this same era. In terms of build quality, by 1980, Hunter was actually offering a very high build quality. It was an early manufacturer to begin using internal framing. Compared to many higher regarded boats of that era, Hunter did a good job of engineering its systems and meeting the construction standards of the day. As odd as this sounds, in those days, many companies, even highly regarded companies failed to produce boats that actually met ABYC standards. It is not that Hunter was perfect, on my Dad's boat which was purchased new, he had deck leaks where the bolts that went through the toerail and hull deck joint were cross threaded and tightened with an air driven wrench. That is a serious problem, but Hunter also resolved any warrantee issues in a reasonable manner. While these were simple boats they were laid out nicely and came with reasonably good quality hardwarfe for that day. Like most manufacturers of that era, they did have some deck core and blister problems, but by and large Hunter's glass work was actually pretty high quality for that era and at that point in time they were still fully tabbing bulkheads into place, which was not as common with other Florida builders of that era such as Morgan or Irwin. Contests of that era, had a much nicer level of finish than the Hunters but were no where near as well built. Nor were they as nice a hull design as the Hunter 30 or 37, but being on a par with the Hunter 33. The hull to deck joints on the Contest were problematic as they were an inward facing flange located down from the rail, making them vulnerable to damage and very hard to repair. Hardware on the Contest was proprietary junk. The Dutch yards of that era typically made their own bakelite (Tufnol) blocks and winches. The winches were undersized and the parts were not interchangable so you ended up having to take a jeweler's file and make your own pawls and have to adapt the winch handles so that one handle actually could be used on either side of the boat. It was a bad joke. As was the fuel and electrical systems on these boats, keel bolts, and internal framing. What internal framing was used was softwood lightly glassed to the hull, that quickly rotted out leaving little support. The Contest was one of the worst boats that I have owned in terms of oil canning in a chop. In any event, neither boat is what I would call a blue water boat. Both were coastal cruisers, and mediocre coastal cruisers at that. They may be reasonable live aboard boats and may be suitable for island hopping if you have the right sails and pick your weather window, but neither has the hull form or robustness of construction that I would think of when I hear the term "blue water capable". Respectfully, Jeff  Beam All other things being equal (and I'm not saying they are) a two foot difference in beam has to be a huge advantage for a liveaboard. Marti Have the boat that you choose surveyed. Before I bought my first boat I had it surveyed. The surveyer helped me understand the true condition of the boat. Money well spent. Good Luck as you move forward. Let us know which you choose. Hunter or Contest? Contest. Here is a list I would look hard at if trying to pick up a blue water capable boat on a budget: Cal 2-30 and 34, Alberg 30 and 35, Cape Dorys, Allieds, Bayfields, Contessa 26, Pearson Triton, and Albin Vega 27. I guess you know that all boats in the 10K range will need a large investment in upgrades and refit unless you are one lucky fellow. I am refitting a Hallberg Rassy Rasmus 35 and will spend 6 times my purchase price to get it ready for cruising. Good luck. Marti Lizard has made a good point. The purchase price will be your smallest investment. I bought a 1980 Catalina and have spent twice what I paid for her and it aint over yet. I agree. Even a new boat requires additions. The kind of boats you're looking at will require repairs or replacements of wiring, plumbing, rigging, etc where necessary - and it will be necessary somewhere. Brian I'll agree with the purchase part is the small part of it! I think I have 3-4x initial $22K purchase USD in new interior, ie hull and headliners, head it self, cushions, a few sails.....ok.....5 of them! That does NOT include much in elecetronics, other than an ST60 Raymarine wind, speed, depth set. At this time I do not see a reason to spend much more on GPS, radar or equal for what I do and go etc.......well, maybe a hand held or lower priced GPS...... marty Top Contributors this Month  Contest 33 Boat for Sale- accommodation

World champion surfer says he is lucky to be alive after being run over by a boatHONOLULU ( KHNL /Gray News) - A well-known Maui waterman is recovering after being injured in the waters off Maui’s North Shore. Zane Schweitzer, 30, says he was out training for a stand-up paddling competition last Tuesday when the accident happened. According to Schweitzer, he came upon a group of dolphins that were riding on the same swell as him and he took advantage of the rare and beautiful moment and jumped off his board to look below the surface. However, his escort boat had also turned around during this moment and was suddenly headed back toward him. “They probably also noticed the dolphin pod,” he said. “I only had time to lift my head and put my hands in front of my face before the boat hit me.” Schweitzer said he suffered several hairline fractures and cuts from the propeller blade on his face and back. The prop and the engine got me on my back, and the lower part of the body,” he said. While in the hospital, Schweitzer missed attending the ESPY awards in Los Angeles, where fellow Maui surfers were honored for helping their community after the Lahaina wildfire disaster. He also missed the Paddle Imua contest. The champion surfer says his rehab will take about two months, but he is grateful to be alive. “At the end, I have nothing but love and forgiveness for all parties involved, including the boat operator,” Schweitzer said. He’s now sharing his story, hoping to help others avoid preventable mistakes. “It’s not always the 100-foot waves or the gale-force winds that are the biggest dangers in the water,” he said. “It’s the choices we make and the people we surround ourselves with, and we have to be really cautious.” Schweitzer has received more than 1,000 well-wishes online. He wants to thank everyone and says he plans to get back in the water as soon as possible. “As watermen, we always have to find a lesson to walk away from. I consider this situation a win in that I was fortunate to walk away from it,” he said. Copyright 2024 KHNL via Gray Local Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Thunder’s struggles in Summer League continued against the Heat with a rough offensive performance. Oklahoma City lost to Miami 102-73 on Monday in its second Summer League contest in Vegas. While the Thunder looked poised to turn around their luck early, they could not recover from some big Heat runs. The Thunder jumped out to an early lead after a rough beginning against the Toronto Raptors in their Vegas debut. Taking a two-point lead after the first quarter, the Thunder rode that momentum into the second quarter, but not for long. Ajay Mitchell scored seven of the team’s first nine points. Mitchell, the Thunder’s second-round pick, has shined throughout Summer League in Utah and Vegas. On Monday, he finished with 21 points to lead the Thunder. Things began falling apart for Oklahoma City in the second quarter. After opening up a 10-point lead, Oklahoma City allowed an 18-1 run to help Miami take an eight-point lead into halftime. Adam Flagler got hot in the first half from beyond the arc, nailing four shots from 3-point range throughout the afternoon. Flagler and Mitchell helped the Thunder get back into the game early in the second half. However, the Heat proved to be too much, using an 11-0 run later in the quarter to extend the lead to 15 and force a Thunder timeout. For Miami, second-year star Jaime Jaquez Jr. looked like the best player on the court. By halftime, he had 15 points on his way to 23. To help Miami put the game out of reach, Josh Christopher took over in the fourth quarter, finishing with 23 points. Although it had a solid start, Oklahoma City’s offense looked rough throughout the game. Oklahoma City had multiple lengthy scoring droughts and shot only 27-of-76 from the floor and 7-of-33 from 3-point range. The Thunder will continue their Summer League in Las Vegas on Wednesday with a matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. Want to join the discussion?
