The Dick Zaal designed Contest 33 is a well known and sought after cruiser. She can be easily handled by two persons while having the advantage of being a sturdy and sea-kindly boat well thought of by sailors everywhere.

The interior layout has been designed to give a light and airy feel, while making the most of the space.

Built to Lloyds specification, Hermione is Part One registered - current and previous registrations present, including the boats original blue folder C344 certificate along with much history.

Unusually for a boat of this age, Hermione has only had five owners in her near half a century history, in fact one of the owners of over 20 years actually bought her back again some years later!
