Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 Just Listed

Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 "OSOMAR" exclusively for sale with DBY Boat Sales.

Designed by the renowned Holman & Pye and built by the respected French yard Henri Wauquiez, the Gladiateur 33 has earned a reputation as a capable offshore cruiser with excellent sailing performance, quality construction and timeless lines. Often described as a mini blue-water cruiser, these eye catching yachts are highly regarded for their solid fiberglass construction, skeg-hung rudder and comfortable sea-kindly motion.

This 1984 example presents as a classic performance cruiser with many recent upgrades to a high blue water standard, equally suited to coastal passages, club racing or extended cruising adventures. The cockpit is well protected and designed for short-handed sailing, while below decks the quality Wauquiez craftsmanship is immediately apparent with warm timber finishes, practical offshore layout and excellent use of space.

Accommodation is comfortable for extended stays aboard, with generous saloon seating, practical galley, dedicated navigation station and sleeping accommodation for family or guests. The Gladiateur 33 is known for combining true offshore capability with a surprisingly spacious interior for a yacht of this size.

Under sail, the masthead sloop rig delivers strong all-round performance with excellent balance and directional stability. The sail wardrobe is extensive, providing numerous sail plans. The moderate displacement hull and fin keel provide confidence in heavier conditions while still rewarding the helm in lighter airs. Windvane steering has been added so she steers herself effortlessly and can also be controlled by the autopilot.

The Wauquiez name continues to be highly respected among experienced sailors for producing strong, well-finished cruising yachts that stand the test of time. Inspection of this classic Gladiateur 33 is highly recommended for buyers seeking a proven offshore design with pedigree, character and enduring appeal.
