Irwin 33-2
Description
The Irwin 33 Mk II is a fiberglass masthead sloop designed by Ted Irwin and produced by Irwin Yachts in Clear Lake, Texas, from 1976 to 1977. As an evolution of the original Irwin 33 (1973-1975), the Mk II featured refinements like improved keel options and rigging for better racing potential, with some units competing at the International Offshore Rule (IOR) 3/4-ton level. It's a versatile cruiser-racer emphasizing coastal performance and family-friendly accommodations, with a focus on stability and ease of handling. Approximately 50-60 were built, contributing to Irwin's reputation for value-driven designs during the 1970s boom. The model reflects Ted Irwin's racing background, blending speed with practical cruising features.
