The Nonsuch 33 represents a pinnacle of the "cat-rigged" revolution spearheaded by Hinterhoeller Yachts and designer Mark Ellis in the late 1980s. Introduced in 1988 as a sophisticated evolution of the earlier Nonsuch 30, the 33 was designed to offer more waterline length, increased interior volume, and a more refined hull shape than its predecessors. Built in St. Catharines, Ontario, the vessel adheres to the classic Nonsuch formula: a massive beam carried well aft, an unstayed carbon fiber mast stepped far forward, and a single large mainsail controlled by a wishbone boom. This configuration, often described by enthusiasts and Canadian Yachting as the ultimate "short-handed cruiser," provides the interior space of a traditional 38-foot yacht within a 33-foot footprint.
