After a 25 year depature in pursuit of Alpinisum, I am returning to sailing. My wife and I are purchasing a CSY 33 which we intend to keep in Tampa until we get the itch for passagemaking. This board has already been a great help so thank you for posting. Later, if I ever learn something of use I commit to pass it on. We are very excited about our new path and the opportunites to see more of the planet.

Welcome aboard CF.
So, what is alpinism?
We've a couple of very helpfull CSY owners here.

Its just like passagemaking, but you trade falling off the boat with falling off a mountain.

As for the CSY, I have a few of questions, the first one is whether or not you have investigated installing a boom vang.

Thanks Charlie

Nah, never felt I needed a boom vang.

Which CSY 33 are ya buying?

(They only built 59 and I know of quite a few of them)

Sassara · 23-05-2007, 10:25

Cinnabar. I don't know the hull number off hand.

CSY Man · 23-05-2007, 10:47

Yeah, I remember Cinnabar....Will look in my files.

Aloha Charlie,
Welcome aboard!! Good to have you here.
Although a boom vang is not absolutely necessary I think they are good for better mainsail control and tuning. With a vang you don't have to worry too much about your boom lifting too high while jibing.
Again, not necessary, but a good feature.
Kind Regards,

Hull # 39.
Built 1979, probably late in the year.
She was delivered with a 5 feet draft and as a cutter.

Send me a PM with your phone number and we can chat about your boat.
