Hi Plumper,

Do the drawings from Mystic Seaport provide detail about the construction, the fiberglass layering used, how the ballast was put i place etc.

I have been considering buying a Saturna 33 offshore and I've been struggling to find much info about them on the internet except for sailboatdata.com

The biggest unknown for me at the moment is the strength of the boat's construction and what her builders intended her to be used for. Just how 'offshore' do you think she is?

I have not seen the boat yet, but will be inspecting a sister-ship on this weekend. If I buy the boat I will most certainly buy the drawings from the library.

Any extra info you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks

George
