The Hallett 33 is a custom racing yacht designed by naval architect Sean Fawcett and built by Brion Reiff in Brooklin, Maine. Constructed using cold-molded cedar over foam core, she qualifies as a wooden boat and is eligible for traditional wooden boat racing. At 33 feet long with a narrow 9'10" beam, she weighs just 4,630 pounds and carries an 8-foot bulb keel with an L-shaped fin to reduce snagging on lobster traps—a practical concern for racing in Maine waters. A single 15 hp Nanni diesel engine provides auxiliary power, while her generous sail plan and hard chine design deliver performance across a range of conditions. Her PHRF rating is 75.
The boat underwent significant modernization in 2019. She received a new aluminum Selden mast paired with an updated custom retractable bow-sprit and a new inventory of asymmetrical spinnakers. The keel was replaced with a deeper fin design, and the cockpit was opened and refined for a more contemporary layout. The original carbon boom remains in serviceable condition. The interior is designed as a functional day-sailing and cruising space without a head currently installed, though one could be added if desired.
Lightly used since the 2019 refit, the boat comes on a roadworthy double-axle trailer. She sails effectively to her rating and is equipped for racing and cruising throughout various waters, from local competitions to offshore passages.
