Delphia 33 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Delphia 33 means considering a 32-foot-9-inch fractional sloop designed by Andrzej Skrzat, built by Delphia Yachts, and honored as Import Boat of the Year on arrival. With a 32-foot-9-inch hull, 11-foot-5-inch beam, and 5-foot-10-inch draft, the boat carries a Category A offshore rating and a practical cruising interior, making it a credible small bluewater candidate on the brokerage market.
Layouts on the Used Market
The used fleet shows the standard two-cabin plan: a forward stateroom with V-berth and lockers, and an aft double tucked beneath the cockpit, both with good storage. The saloon has an L-shaped port settee and shorter starboard bench around a dropleaf table, with the galley to port featuring an island sink, fridge/freezer, and oven, and the nav station with head to starboard. Ventilation comes from fore-and-aft and saloon hatches. Cockpits are center-wheel with teak seats and an aft swim platform.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Commonly fitted gear on brokered boats includes spinnaker and asymmetric spinnaker options, autopilot, electric winches, and a short-handed setup that simplifies sail handling. AIS and bimini are also typical, with teak decks and cockpit shower often present. Often-seen upgrades include heating, furling main, hot water, dodger, and chartplotter. For a buyer, the power-and-energy cluster (autopilot, electric winches) reduces crew load, while canvas (bimini, dodger) and navigation (AIS, chartplotter) extend comfort and safety; sail-handling upgrades like a furling main matter more than cosmetic additions.
What to Inspect
The mainsheet sits on the coach roof beyond the helmsman's reach, and the short traveler track forward of it has negligible sail-trim effectiveness anchor. Primary Lewmar 30ST winches are undersized for the rig, and the cockpit lacks foot chocks for the crew. Check the keel stainless bolts and the balsa-cored deck for any moisture, and confirm the Volvo sail-drive seals and the Airex-foam topsides bond are sound given the mixed laminate construction.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in the United States, France, Greece, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. For a buyer, the checklist is: verify the infusion hull and keel bolts, confirm winch and traveler ergonomics suit your crew, check the Volvo sail drive and standard 18-hp engine, and assess whether commonly fitted short-handed and canvas gear is present. A well-kept example offers a stiff, finished cruiser with real offshore rating at modest size.
