The Nauticat 33 is a masthead ketch motor-sailer designed by W. Aarnipalo and built by Siltala Yachts from 1967 to 1996. It measures 10.1 meters LOA with a 3.2-meter beam, a 1.6-meter draft, and displaces 7824 kg. The Nauticat 33 was Siltala's first and most successful model, with a raised aft deck offered as an option starting in 1977. Aboard *cruisincasa*, a Nauticat 33 motorsailed from Egg Island to Little Harbor, Abaco, at approximately 6 knots, using a jib and mizzen for a downwind run.6:14 The crew maintained engine health by running the 90-horsepower engine at 1,200 RPM for most of the passage, increasing to 1,600 RPM to clear the engine.9:00 Another *cruisincasa* passage saw a 1986 Nauticat 33, named *Slacker*, complete a 231-nautical-mile trip from the Bahamas to St. Augustine, Florida, in 36 hours and 50 minutes, averaging 6.3 knots while motor-sailing through 10-to-12-foot following seas in the Gulf Stream.15:19 The vessel reached 11 knots surfing waves at night, and the crew used the pilothouse for protection during squalls.13:58 The crew noted the Nauticat 33's capability as a motor-sailer in heavy seas but struggled to achieve efficient pure sailing performance.16:40
