The Alajuela 33 stands as the refined, slightly more compact successor to the legendary Alajuela 38. While the 38 was a double-ended homage to William Atkin’s "Ingrid" design, the 33 represents a shift toward more contemporary performance standards of the late 1970s while maintaining the "go-anywhere" build philosophy established by Mike Riding at Alajuela Yacht Corp. Built in Huntington Beach, California, the 33 was designed by Ray Richards, a naval architect known for his work with Cheoy Lee and Ranger Yachts. The goal was to produce a vessel that retained the heavy-displacement security of a blue-water cruiser but offered better pointing ability and responsiveness than its larger, traditionalist sibling.
