The Barbican 33 is a heavydisplacement cruiser that represents a "late flowering" of the storied career of designer Maurice Griffiths. Launched in 1979 by Barbican Yachts in Plymouth, the model was born from the hull of the earlier Atlantic Clipper 36, but with a significantly revised coachroof and interior that aligned more closely with the traditional aesthetic Griffiths favored. Constructed with a solid GRP hull and encapsulated ballast, the Barbican 33 was built as a rugged, seakindly alternative to the increasingly lightweight production yachts of the 1980s. While Barbican Yachts ceased production in the early 1990s, the design remains a staple of the British longdistance cruising community, often compared to Griffiths' earlier masterpiece, the Golden Hind 31.
