The Greyhound 33 is a robust, bluewater cruiser designed by the late Peter Ibold, an American naval architect who became a legendary figure in the European yachting scene. Built primarily by Chantier de l’Estagnol in France during the 1970s and 1980s, the Greyhound 33 reflects the "oceangoing doubleender" philosophy that Ibold perfected with his more famous Endurance series. Often described as a slightly more compact and manageable sibling to the Endurance 35, the Greyhound 33 was engineered for durability and stability rather than outright speed. The hull is characterized by its heavy displacement, full keel, and distinctive pointed stern, a design intended to handle following seas with grace. While it never achieved the massmarket volume of French contemporaries like Beneteau or Jeanneau, the Greyhound 33 carved out a niche among serious offshore sailors who prioritized a "tanklike" build quality for longdistance voyaging.
