2010 Finn Flyer 33 R

Slide aboard and you immediately notice how open and uncluttered the cockpit feels, with that extended aft section giving you space to actually move during tacks and jibes instead of dancing around each other. Under sail, the boat feels feather-light on the helm and accelerates the moment a puff hits, but still tracks like it’s on rails when pressed upwind. Below, the composite interior keeps things bright and modern rather than heavy and traditional, and the clever use of space means you can actually live aboard for a weekend regatta or a week-long coastal hop without feeling cramped. It’s a boat that rewards an engaged sailor, yet stays surprisingly forgiving for short-handed crews.

This Finn Flyer 33 R shines in local waters where conditions can swing from light-air mornings to gusty afternoon sea breezes. The efficient hull and extended stern let you keep moving when others are wallowing, yet provide the control and balance to stay confident when the breeze fills in and the chop stands up. Its layout is ideal for quick daysails with friends, short-handed club racing, or extended weekends exploring nearby harbors. Shoal-draft access isn’t sacrificed for performance, and the comfortable, easy-to-clean interior makes it realistic to use the boat often, not just on race days.
