The Cape Carib 33 is a classic, heavydisplacement cruising yacht born from the collaborative design efforts of Ted Brewer and Bob Wallstrom. Originally designated as Brewer/Wallstrom Design 47 in 1970, the vessel was conceived as a highly capable, compact ocean voyager. While initially designed for amateur or smallyard wood construction, the design’s inherent seaworthiness soon attracted commercial builders. Cape Yachts Ltd. in Hong Kong adapted the design into a seriesproduction fiberglass ketch, building shes of handlaid GRP alongside their larger Cape North 43. Renowned for its robust, traditional architecture, the Cape Carib 33 achieved early legendary status among cruising circles when an early hull successfully weathered a weeklong monsoon gale in the South China Sea. Over the decades, these yachts have logged countless bluewater miles, including notable passages from Hong Kong to the Mediterranean and the United Kingdom.
