Designed by the renowned naval architect **Gilbert Caroff** and launched in 1989, this **Chatham 33** is a robust steel sailing yacht built for offshore cruising and long-distance adventures. Constructed with a steel hull (5 mm above the waterline and 6 mm below), she offers exceptional strength, safety, and reliability at sea.
