The Sigma 33ood has proved herself to be a great all-round yacht. Down to the vision of the designer David Thomas this is the one of the most widely owned boats in the UK. And amazing bang for your buck.
Just as suitable for cruising as she is for one design racing & she will compete well under handicap rules. Ideal for all abilities and adventures.
Sigmatic has had two owners from new and benefited from being very well looked after , she has a recent engine, beautiful professionally hull paint job and she has a string of Sigma national championship wins!
Overview
The Sigma 33ood is the higher performance version of the Sigma 33 cruiser-racer design. Despite nominally being a racing design, these boats make equally good - cruisers, with a fully fitted cruising interior. As so many of these boats have been raced extensively, it is common to find boats cosmetically tired, although perhaps with good sails.
Occasionally a really good example turns up, as is the case with "Sigmatic".
