Hobie 33 Sailboat Tour - Ep18

[@bstsurf1]

Killer job they did on that Hobie 33. Those things are Transpac slayers. Was on one lit up racing downwind Maui to Oahu on the labor day race...until the rig came down off Molokai. Keep up the killer videos Scott, they’re awesome!

[@Mainsail333]

What a great Santa Barbara beach day and a great boat...

[@cclay26]

Well done, Choate and Alan Andrews great team!

[@adamsonofdon2766]

Back in the 90’s I loved seeing these and the Olsen 30’s racing one design at whidbey island race week

[@jonathanmerkel4994]

My neighbor Mr McKinnon had one stashed in our neighborhood. I used to love checking it out on the trailer. Really cool boats!

[@wallcfa]

Scot You do a great job on these. This was a treat

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

i really appreciate hearing that!

[@Johnnyhumbkr]

Extremely nice boat. Well thought through and lots of improvements! I went sailing on a Hobie 33 from Ft. Lauderdale and they’re awesome boats! Well, thanks for the video and be safe out there!

[@johnnydeutschemark3620]

One of a kind! Good mod's all around, love the super-minimal interior / out board-well / bigger rig etc. Beast!

[@chrisseidel6347]

that is such a beautiful boat. that Hobie 33 is not bad either

[@lbyvik]

FANTASTIC!!! Sailed / raced on one as a kid in the 80's on the lower Chesapeake bay. (Hampton VA) Owned by Dan Smoker. WICKED fast and fun. That H33 is outstanding. Best Mods I've ever seen on one. Thanks for doing this. Wish I had the $$'s to grab this one

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

i sure as hell would if i could. there is a certain hobie 33 down here i would love to smoke with that thing!

[@briannelson3498]

Wow that Hobie 33 is gorgeous!

[@viktorbrejcha948]

One of the best Hobies!!!

[@marsashes]

Keep em coming Scott

[@salorjim1000]

If my dad were alive today he would love this. His last boat was a Hobie 33 Phone Home out of Balboa Yacht Club. He was in his 70's when he owned this boat. Can't imagine the taller mast and sail area ours could get quite crazy in a blow.

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

in spirit, he is digging it. ;) keep in mind that they only carry non-overlapping jibs..

Congrats to buying this baby, Scot

[@seanrhone5306]

I watched this because I own a Hobie 33, #120, and man am I envious of this one!

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

right? jesus, the thing is even more impressive in person. if i had the cash, i'd buy it right now - it's that cool!

[@seanrhone5306]

@@SailingAnarchyUSA Pretty sure the mast is not original. I have a retractable keel and I know the owner of hull #165 which is a fixed keel and they are both deck stepped.

@@SailingAnarchyUSA I think they were all built in the early 80s before spirits where a big thing and in socal probably get better VMG numbers sailing deeper with a symmetrical.

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

especially this one!

@@SailingAnarchyUSA Definitely! I wish ours was this clean and well sorted out when we raced her ~18-20 years ago. The PHRF rating on Captain Sluggo is just begging for an Ensenada run!

Congratullations for this series Scott
I am your follower ND enjoy very much the format and your light humorous touch
I own a Nelson/Marek 41.
Have you done a chapter with N/M design
Many years ago a read about an incident with Bruce Nelson
Would love to know the story
Thank you for the impeccable production

[@shovington67]

Needs a hammock or two, and some lightweight insulation and flooring for cold weather. It would be nice if the insulation went up the walls as a back rest here and there. Cutting down on water noise and heat loss isn't a bad idea, and can be very reasonably light. Obviously something that doesn't absorb water, like closed cell foam. Small stove and fridge, perhaps a sink and small counter. Make it all removable for racing, but well fitted for travelling adventure. For a boat from the beginning of the 80's, it looks fantastic.

[@voropayevm]

you should do a Santa Cruz 27, #retro

[@cilldublin07]

Can you do an Olson 30. There's one racing in Europe now on IRC and from the pics it's an interesting looking boat not seen this side of the Atlantic

[@Mainsail333]

+1 on the Olson 30 sailed on one for years, always a winner in its class

[@johnplominski5984]

gotta add some video of that thing blasting along with a kite up

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

no shit!

[@jakebarnes28]

Maybe an off-the-wall question - what is the state-of-art of boat-building, in all aspects (by this I mean: at the "yard" level)? How are the myriad yards getting the required skilled craftsmen? Are there trade-schools, as we would know them? Publicly supported?
Lottery dream: start a k-12 school focused on sailing - wood to glass to fiber, and beyond - and building everything associated with it. This would include restoring boats. The pedagogy is sailing (every single subject taught in school today, and before, can be done around sailing, or am I crazy? Physical sciences: materials, force-loads, kinetic and potential engergy, etc., Math: trig, celestial navigation for add & subt., geometry, calculus, etc., History: duh. Music/Art: duh.
How many dying boats are there?
Is sailing, as anything but a rich man's sport, going to survive? As a pastime even? Are there too many sailboats already?
As always, love the eye-candy.

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

lotta questions there mate, and i don't really know the answers other than to say it is really expensive to redo a boat like was done on captain sluggo. there are skilled people out there, no doubt. it helps to know people who can point someone towards the right people for the job...

Beautiful work, but can that make a narrow hull pick up an plane line the modern crop , I doubt it. Can it carry a asymmetric at full tilt with that narrow hull?
You did not mention its racing record , that the real test.
Georgeous work .

[@gabehill4035]

Who can explain what the clutch on the side of the mast (below deck) is for? Never seen anything like that. Can't imagine what purpose it could have.

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

main halyard.

[@jonathannye2089]

Must need to be unfastened to step/unstep the mast. Probably helicoil inserts so not a big deal.

[@Enviroblast]

How much did she sell for? ❤❤

[@richardszyjan9818]

Nice try but my Hobie 33 has been successfully racing the Caribbean for over 20 years with cut bow to allow 6 feet bow sprit a cut off cockpit all the way to the second window and most of all a narrow 2.5 m keel with bulb.most importantly the keel, the mast and the forestay attachment needs to move aft .trust me the name is " Category 5 "

[@WallyBraun]

Where did you get the keel and how much weight were you able to save by extending it?

[@baxternauset]

Not a stock mast step down below. The original had a deck stepped mast and a bridal where you could raise the rig with one person using the spinnaker pole and a halyard. Not pretty but it worked. And as for that lowered retractable keel cover. Damn. It must be only about 1/2" above the waterline. I nearly sank mine while tied to the dock when the cover was off and the wind came up

[@SailingAnarchyUSA]

i guess i didn't mention that, kind of assumed people knew ;0

[@luminarycrush]

I hope that keel well cover is secured pretty tight!

[@richardyabsley9378]

@@luminarycrush keel is glassed to the hull no water in trunk

[@johnwest1127]

What is the price?

[@sailboathouse]

Yes, price please?

[@jonnorousseau3096]

Nice boat, I'm surprised that they didn't add a carbon bowsprit for the codes and spinnakers, what's the standing rigging material and setup?
Hydraulic backstay adjuster and vang? Fractional forestay etc.
Very clean boat, looks like a fun boat to race (I do a bit of racing on a couple of very special boats, a custom Simonis designed Cape to Rio open 60 class 64' built by Robertson and Caine in '95, Cape to Rio 2nd place O/A on handicap, first over the line, twice, Mauritius to Durban 1st across the line and overall winner 3 times, Fastnet 2nd in class, top 10 overall, Antigua race week class winner.
And a Corby 49' which we dismasted (triple spreader carbon rod rigged spar) in Cape Town in February.
