"We're sticking with the hulls, but changing the layouts. We won't reinvent the wheel, but we will improve the boats bit by bit," says Product Manager Daniel Kohl to YACHT online. The deck will be redesigned, the superstructure will have larger windows, the seating position on the wheel will be improved and the walkways will be simplified. The 33 replaces the 32.

The new line was created in collaboration with the English design studio Design Unlimited, which was also heavily involved in the new Vision series. The older Cruiser series was developed together with BMW Designworks USA.

The shipyard emphasises the spacious cockpit with a particularly good workplace for the helmsman, long thwarts and an improved sail plan. There will be two cabins and an interior with a high proportion of solid wood.

The customer has two options for the draught and sail area.
