Long keeled motorsailer built to a traditional Scandinavian design that sails well - but has the added security of a 50hp 4-cylinder diesel engine.
Full Details
Description
This Fjord MS 33 is a masthead sloop rigged Scandinavian motorsailer - a double-ender. She has been changed to slab reefing on the main - the original roller reefing being a bit out-dated.
She benefits from a new engine back in 2000.
Construction
GRP - conventional moulded construction with extensive use of teak and mahogany below.
The Norske Veritas build registration confirms the quality design and build of this Norwegian sea going double-ended motor sailor.
