Wooden Ships Comments on this Buchanan 33
Designed by Alan Buchanan to 1960 RORC rules, built by St Osyth boatyard in 1961 to Lloyds 100A1. The Buchanan 33 was designed as a manageable cruiser racer yacht with enough space and headroom below to be a practical yacht but with the hull shape and rig to give very pleasing performance.
The present owner has had the boat for 20 years and raced regularly as well as cruising up and down the UK coast and over to France. She has proved herself to be a fast boat, easily handled by two people and turns heads wherever she goes.
