About
1984 Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 — Freshwater Lake Ontario Cruiser
A rare opportunity to own a well-built European cruiser with the pedigree and proportions of a true mini-bluewater yacht. This 1984 Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 has spent its life in 100% freshwater on Lake Ontario and has been in the care of its current owner for more than 25 years.
Wauquiez yachts are respected for their solid construction, capable sailing manners, and practical cruising layouts. The Gladiateur 33 is a compact but substantial yacht—equally suited to relaxed coastal cruising, extended Great Lakes adventures, or an owner looking for a classic offshore-influenced design with a manageable 33-foot footprint.
This boat presents as a sound, honest platform that has benefited from meaningful ownership upgrades over the years, including updated electronics, running rigging, winches, and additional improvements. The deck was redone approximately 10 years ago, and the hull is reported to be free of blisters—important advantages for a classic boat of this vintage. The interior included custom cabinetry with hot and cold water, refrigeration, and recent batteries.
Miss Conduct in Orbit is equipped with a tall performance rig and comes from a full suite of sails: Main, #1 and #2 Genoas, #3 Jib, and an almost new Spinnaker. This includes a Selden Regatta rig with Furlex foiling headstay, Selden boom vang, and Garhauer genoa track controls. She has full Raymarine electronics.
Propulsion comes from an 18 HP Volvo Penta 2002 diesel with an excellent Autoporop feathering 3-blade propeller. The Bruntons Autoprop is unique because it is a fully automatic, self-pitching and feathering propeller. Its independent blades dynamically adjust their own angle of attack based on water flow and centrifugal force. This optimizes thrust, cuts sailing drag by up to 85%, and improves motor-sailing and fuel efficiency.
This as a proven boat at an excellent price. She is solid but could use some TLC for the exterior woodwork and brightwork. For the buyer who appreciates classic yacht character and is prepared to add their own finishing touches, this is an opportunity to acquire a respected Wauquiez design with freshwater history, long-term ownership, and a solid foundation.

Accommodations
The Gladiateur 33 features a classic, seaworthy offshore accommodation layout crafted in rich Burmese teak joinery with a generous 6'1" (1.85m–1.88m) headroom throughout the main cabin. The interior layout prioritizes safety and comfort at sea over open-concept aesthetics.
This vessel can sleep up to 6 people across two cabins and the central saloon, utilizing a highly functional sea-berth configuration.
A private forward V-Berth featuring a comfortable V-shaped double bed measuring roughly 6'-6" (2 metres) long.
The port-side settee converts or pulls out into a functional double berth. On the starboard side, there is a dedicated pilot berth positioned high and outboard, offering another secure, seaworthy berth underway.
Located on the port side aft, extending directly behind the navigation station. This single quarter berth provides an excellent, deeply recessed sea-berth for the off-watch navigator or skipper.
The head compartment spans the full width of the boat, serving as a privacy barrier between the forward V-berth and the main saloon.
It is designed as a marine "wet cell" layout featuring a manual marine toilet, sink with pressure water, and dedicated storage lockers for toiletries.
Because it extends across the beam, it offers plenty of elbow room compared to cramped side-heads found on other 33-footers. It also functions cleanly as a wet locker to hang soggy foul-weather gear near the center of the boat.
