About the Regatta 330 Westerly Sailboat

Designed by renowned naval architect Ed Dubois, this 33-foot sailboat represents a focused approach to performance cruising from the mid-1990s. Built by Westerly Yachts in the UK between 1993 and 1998, only 15 examples of the Regatta 330 were produced, making it a relatively rare find in today's market. The yacht's fin keel and spade rudder configuration, combined with its masthead sloop rig, delivers responsive handling and solid upwind performance. With a displacement of 11,310 pounds and 4,210 pounds of ballast, the boat strikes a balance between stability and spirited sailing characteristics. The generous sail area of 520 square feet provides ample power for both coastal cruising and club racing scenarios. Ed Dubois's design philosophy shines through in the boat's proportions, featuring a waterline length that maximizes sailing length while maintaining manageable overall dimensions. The moderate beam and draft make it suitable for a variety of harbors while still providing adequate interior volume. With a comfort ratio indicating good motion characteristics and a capsize screening value of 2, the Regatta 330 demonstrates its suitability for serious coastal cruising and protected offshore passages, appealing to sailors seeking performance without compromising seaworthiness.
