Remarks : This Maurice Griffiths creation boasts a long keel for stability and a shallow draft for easy navigation in coastal waters. The spacious cockpit with wheel steering offers comfortable command of the vessel, while the well-appointed interior provides sleeping accommodation for up to five. Although the design originated in the 1970s and 80s, the Barbican is a comfortable cruiser even by today's standards and is a timeless design built for solid cruising.
The Barbican 33 combines classic design with modern functionality.
