The Contrast 33 is a 32.38ft fractional sloop designed by Rolf Magnusson and built in fiberglass by Contrast Marine (SWE) since 1979.
240 units have been built.
The Contrast 33 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
