The Nova 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a keel-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,177 lb (3,709 kg) and carries 3,868 lb (1,754 kg) of cast iron ballast. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel. [1] [2]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM diesel engine of 15 hp (11 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 11.9 U.S. gallons (45 L; 9.9 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 23.8 U.S. gallons (90 L; 19.8 imp gal). [1] [2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The main cabin also has a drop-leaf table. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. [1] [2]

For sailing the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker. It has a hull speed of 6.87 kn (12.72 km/h). [2]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club based in Sweden, that organizes racing events, the Novaförbundet (English: Nova Association). [8]
