J/33 “Breeze” – Classic Performance Cruiser/Racer with Proven Sailing Pedigree This J/33 “Breeze” from 1990 is a remarkably well-equipped and thoroughly maintained example – fast, solid, and beautifully balanced. Designed by the Johnstone brothers as the “little sister” to the legendary J/35, she combines high performance with easy handling and pure sailing pleasure. Breeze has successfully completed the prestigious Silverrudder Regatta – the world’s largest singlehanded race around the island of Fyn (approx. 200 nautical miles) – four years in a row (2022–2025). This achievement is a strong testament to the boat’s reliability, stability, and superb balance. She sails fast, safely, and effortlessly in all conditions, making her ideal for singlehanded, doublehanded, or cruising use. With a length of 10.06 m and beam of 3.35 m, the J/33 offers an efficient hull design that delivers impressive upwind speed and control. The helm is direct and lively – you sail the boat, you don’t just steer it. Professionally refurbished in 2017. Accommodation and Interior: 6 berths (2 forward, 2 saloon, 2 aft) New upholstery (2017), toilet with new hoses and seacocks (2017) Optimus 2-burner stove, large fridge box, folding saloon table Eberspächer D4+ heater (2019) with Smart Sim module Navigation and Electronics: Raymarine plotter (2019) AIS 700 Class B (2020) Autopilot EV100 with remote control (2019) – fantastic performance, the boat truly sails itself Nexus instrument system (2019): 3x Maxi displays, 2x Multi, log/depth, wind, GPS Raymarine VHF with external speaker Rig and Sails: Aluminium mast with double spreaders, rod rigging, hydraulic backstay (serviced 2020) Cutter stay in Vectran (2019), Reckmann furling system (2019) Sparcraft kicker with gas spring (2020), aluminium spinnaker pole Mainsail DCX Laminate (2018) Jib DCX Laminate (2019) G4 Pentex (2018, used 6 times) 2x Spinnakers (Quantum & UK) with new spinnaker sock for easy singlehanded handling Extra Quantum Kevlar main and jib Deck and Hardware: Lewmar winches (2x45ST, 2x40ST, 2x34ST – 2017), Harken deck gear, Spinlock clutches New boom cover (2020), headsail cover (2019), sprayhood (2017) Electrical System: Philippi electrical panel (2018) 3 new batteries (2024) LED lighting and USB outlets Philippi charger (2018), main switches, fuses, charge distributor Engine and Installation: Shaft drive with PSS shaft seal and Centaflex coupling (2019) MaxProp folding propeller, new hoses, filters, and seacocks (2019) In Short: A beautifully equipped, fast, and exceptionally well-sailing J/33 with a proven race record.
