The Sigma 33 

The Sigma 33 was produced by Marine Projects from the late ’70s and was at the time, one of the latest must have sporty boats. When the ’79 Fastnet Race wreaked its havoc and many boats and crew members were lost, the designer, David Thomas was aboard a Sigma 33 prototype and, despite several knockdowns, some cracking around the coachroof, a stove-in window and split washboards, the crew refused rescue from a Dutch Naval vessel and the plucky Sigma continued to Newlyn.

The experience prompted some changes to later models of the boat but the general design had proved her pedigree in atrocious conditions.  There were 364 boats built from 1978 to 1991 and it was a runaway success. It gained a strong following as a one-design class throughout the 80s and is still in strong demand both in the UK and Ireland as a racer/cruiser.
