What she is drawn to become | SB3335 · 33ft Swiftcraft Custom

A general arrangement has been drawn up for her, and the boat has been prepared with it in mind. Seating and a table forward under the cuddy, helm with a WC opposite, galley with sink and refrigerator, a sunbed amidships, and an open aft cockpit with two tables. The drawing also shows a swim platform off the transom, which has not been built.

None of it is built, and the drawing is indicative rather than scaled, so treat the proportions as a sketch of intent and not a measurement. It is here because it shows what this hull can be made to hold, and because the deck, hatches and bulkheads already in place were set out with it in mind. Ignore it entirely if you have your own ideas. The hull does not care.

Mood board

Colour is only half of it. The direction is as much about texture: something you notice with a hand on the coaming before you notice it with your eyes. The board below is the reference, drawn up in July 2026.
