Norwest 33


58 / 171 - score 56%

The Norwest 33 is a 33.5ft masthead sloop designed by Chuck Burns and built in fiberglass between 1978 and 1981.

18 units have been built.

The Norwest 33 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.

This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
