Used Pilot 33 Sailboats for Sale

The Pilot 33 stands as a significant design in the history of American yachting, marking Sparkman & Stephens' first post-World War II auxiliary sailboat design. Conceived by K. Aage Nielsen, an S&S employee, this 32.92-foot long keel sloop quickly established itself as a well-regarded coastal cruiser, known for its robust wooden construction and classic lines. Originally built by Fisher Boat Works, production was later taken over by Thomas Knutson Shipbuilding Corporation in Huntington, New York, a yard renowned for its commitment to durable, quality marine craftsmanship using traditional methods. The Pilot 33 offered sailing enthusiasts a capable and comfortable vessel as recreational boating resurged in the post-war era.
