Production

The design was built by Crystaliners Corporation (Glassco Inc.) in Miami, Florida, United States. The company completed 15 boats starting in 1958, but it is now out of production.[1]

The Arco 33 molds were later sold to Columbia Yachts and the design was developed into the Columbia 33 Caribbean in 1963.[1][3]

Design

The Arco 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional yawl rig with the addition of a mizzen mast. Features include a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 12,000 lb (5,443 kg).[1]

The boat has a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) with the centreboard extended and 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with it retracted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Palmer H-60 22 hp (16 kW) gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering.[1]

gollark: I blame some sort of weird interaction between insurance companies, regulation/the government, consumers of healthcare services, and the companies involved in healthcare.
gollark: The US healthcare system is just really quite broken and there is probably not some individual there who's just going "MWAHAHAHA, my plan to increase the price of healthcare has succeeded, and I could easily make everything reasonable but I won't because I'm evil!", or one person who could decide to just make some stuff free right now without introducing some huge issues. It's a systemic issue.
gollark: Yes, they do have considerations other than minimizing short-term COVID-19 deaths, but that is sensible because other things do matter.
gollark: The US government, and large business owners and whoever else ("capitalism"), don't really want people to die in large numbers *either*, they're:- still *people*- adversely affected by said large numbers dying, because: - if lots of people die in the US compared to elsewhere, they'll look bad come reelection - most metrics people look at will also be worse off if many die and/or are ill for a while - many deaths would reduce demand for their stuff, and they might lose important workers, and more deaths means a worse recession
gollark: That is stupid on so many levels. Is it meant to be some homepathic thing, where the blood is obviously even more worserer if they dilute it?
