Very good reputation, fast enough to have a good time in club races and like any IOR yacht, a big gut making her comfortable below decks. The rear cabin is a treat (if you're into that and happy with a centre cockpit).

I'm curious...
I have a Carter designed boat that was built by Mariner yachts in
Sydney. I've been trying to figure out where Mariner got the moulds to see if they are the same hull as the ones built by Olympic in Greece.
So I did some measuring of my boat yesterday and it turns out the rig dimensions are an exact match for the Carter 3/4 ton design which also happens to be 10m (33'). So I have the feeling that the Australian built ones (at least the ones built by Mariner) were built to the later, heavier design.
I'd be interested to know what the J measurement is for the Carter Passage 33 built in
Australia to see if it matches the J measurement for mine. If they are the same then it might suggest that perhaps they used the same hull moulds with a different deck mould...
Cheers,
Dan
