1988 33 Feet Coaster 33 Ketch

A classic little motorsailer from the East Coast of the United Kingdom, the Coaster 33 has quite a following among those who know an outstanding boat when they see one! These little pilothouse motorsailers are quite rare in the US, but are great favorites in Europe, because of the quality of their accommodations, their sea-kindly behavior in rough seas, and perhaps surprisingly, their sailing performance as well! The lightweight aluminum maninmast is mounted on a tall coachroof tabernacle, which allows the mast to be easily lowered for those interested in canal cruising, or for those that have bridge issues along their favorite cruising route (which is a HUGE plus for those cruising in Europe, or up the big rivers of the US).

While the Coaster 33 is a thoroughly well-thought-out design,'Divine Providence' is one of only TWO Coaster 33's that are in the US (the other 45 boats are all still in Europe!), and with her all-roller-furling ketch rig, is ideal for either a young couple with children, or especially retirees that can't quite give up the notion of sailing for a trawler.  In other words, very similar to a Nauticat, but with better sailiung performance! Small and efficient motorsailers are hard to find anywhere in the US, and at this price, you would be hard-pressed to find anything close in comparison! As for condition, please have a look at the full specifications and photographs, and I think you will agree that 'Divine Providence' is a rare prize indeed!  UPDATE: 08/12/09 PRICE REDUCED FROM $75K FOR QUICK SALE!
