2007 Hallett 33

The Hallett 33 'Family Wagon' is a custom racing yacht built in Maine with a cold-molded cedar and foam core hull. Designed by naval architect Sean Fawcett and constructed by wooden boat builder Brion Reiff, this one-off boat was engineered around the GP33 box rule and qualifies as a wooden boat under traditional registry. At 33 feet with a beam of nearly 10 feet and an 8-foot draft, the hard chine design delivers stability across varied conditions while remaining light at 4,630 pounds. The narrow beam and generous sail plan provide significant power, enabling strong performance upwind and downwind. With a PHRF rating of 75 in New England, the boat sails to her rating when properly crewed.

In 2019, the boat received a comprehensive refit that included a new aluminum Selden mast, an updated deeper-fin keel with an L-shaped profile designed to avoid catching lobster traps, and a custom retractable bowsprit paired with a new all-asymmetrical spinnaker inventory. The original carbon boom remains in good condition. The cockpit was redesigned and enlarged to create a more open, modern layout suitable for family cruising as well as racing. The interior is custom finished and functional, with capacity for eight-foot draft anchorages typical of performance cruising boats. A diesel inboard engine provides auxiliary power with modest fuel consumption.

The boat has seen only light use since the 2019 refit and includes a roadworthy double-axle trailer. While no head is currently installed to preserve racing weight, the boat previously had one and the interior allows straightforward reinstallation should an owner wish to add it. The design succeeds equally as a racing platform and a high-performance day sailer, with the generous cockpit and usable interior supporting extended cruising when desired.
