Yorktown 33
Description
The Yorktown 33 is a classic American fiberglass sailboat from the early 1970s, designed by Hank McCune (sometimes spelled McQuen in owner discussions) and built by Yorktown Yachts (Yorktown Marine Corp.) in Wilmington, California. Like many boats from that era, it was frequently sold as a kit boat (hull, deck, and major components), with owners completing the interior, systems, and fit-out themselves. This led to significant variations in layout, quality, and final weight depending on the builder/owner.
