The Soverel 33 was a hot racer that was extremely competitive. It won the Maryland Ritchie Trophy for the Sunset Class in its era. It's a fast racing sloop that has reasonable accommodations for its speed. She has been equipped for cruising/shorthanded sailing with a roller-furling headsail. The last two owners have used it for pleasure sailing, and they have spent a good amount of money on bringing its systems and auxiliary engine up to date.
