I've got a Brewer designed Murray 33.

10AWG steel, 16,000lbs, 2" urethane foam insulation, cutter rig.

Drive it REAL hard.

Hey,
I heard the name but never seen one..... Just searched and found this

http://www.tedbrewer.com/sail_steel/murray33.htm

Damn.............. that is a stout boat! Humm, steel in 33 feet, no
bow sprit! Cool. Sorta looks like a Cascade on the underside.
Must be fun.
Do you live on it?

Back to what is high lats......... I found that saling types in San
Diego and LA call SF northern california, Those in SF call north of 45
bad and woolly. those of us at N45 look at 48N and go burr and then
there are those fools north of the 50 line ?!?!?!? WTF is that all
about? Spent two summers in the Bering on some 80' boats. figure a
blow once every 1-2 weeks of 40k-50k and 20-30' seas. of course there
is the 1-2 days of building and then 1-2 days abating. not bad
overall. I got to see the sun twice. Once for about 30 min the other
for about 10 min..............

But sitting in a 33' sailboat in that stuff would be significanlty
diffrent than sitting in a hot tub drinking hot sake while someone
else is driving the boat

Actually the cutter version (which I have) has a stubby bow sprit, about
3'. I am fortunate enough that my handlers let me loose for 6 weeks
(w/o pay) in the summer to go play. Last year I moved her from Sydney,
NS to Lewisporte, NL and went through 51N in the process. Bergs! Cool!
