Broker's Comments
Designed to offer plentiful living accommodation in tandem with great sea-keeping and a good turn of speed, the Birchwood 33 Classic is a popular and respected choice. Not many cruisers this size give you two heads, a stand-up shower and a vast double aft cabin. The boat as a whole was given a major re-work in 2012. While there are still a few jobs outstanding (aren't there always?), a huge amount has been done to bring this robust and practical cruiser up to speed. The overall impression throughout is one of light and space. Versatile and practical, this boat will appeal to a wide range of potential owners, not least would-be live-aboards on a modest budget.
