The Nova 33 albin is a 33.0ft fractional sloop designed by Peter Norlin and built in fiberglass by Albin Marine between 1981 and 1997.
500 units have been built.
The Nova 33 albin is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
