This 1985 Mason 33 is a solidly built offshore cruising yacht, designed by Al Mason and constructed by Ta Shing Yacht Builders in Taiwan to Lloyds +100 A-1 specifications. The hand-laid fiberglass hull features full-length longitudinal stringers, transverse members, and bonded structural bulkheads, with a sandwich deck of molded FRP and end-grain balsa core. Rather than teak decks, the boat carries a molded gelcoat diamond-patterned non-skid surface that avoids the maintenance typical of traditional teak. The spars and sail handling equipment are substantial, and a fiberglass weather hood covers the sliding teak hatch.
Below deck, the interior showcases hand-rubbed satin-finished teak joinery throughout, with a cabin sole of teak and spruce featuring removable panels for bilge access. The main salon offers comfortable settees on both port and starboard that convert to single berths, along with a drop-leaf table and dedicated navigation station with chart storage. A wet locker with drain sits near the companionway. Headroom reaches 6'2", and natural light enters through three lexan hatches and ten opening ports. The forward master stateroom contains a full double berth with under-berth storage, hanging lockers, and abundant cabinetry. The head includes a stainless steel sink, shower, Raritan marine toilet, and Whale foot pump.
The galley is U-shaped and well-configured for cruising, with ample counter space and cabinet storage throughout. Equipment includes a gimbaled three-burner Mariner Regal propane stove with oven and broiler, double stainless steel sinks, hot and cold pressure water, a Whale foot pump, and an Adler Barbour cold plate refrigeration system. A Force 10 rail-mounted propane grill and easy-stow teak cockpit table complete the setup. The Westerbeke diesel engine produces 22 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of eight knots and a maximum speed of ten knots.
