33-34

The Back Cove 33 (called the Back Cove 34 in 2012) is a handsome Down East cruiser whose single-diesel efficiency, versatile layout, and leading-edge construction made her one of the more appealing boats in her class. Like all Back Cove models, the 33 rides on a vacuum-bagged, PVC-cored hull with a reverse transom and a shallow prop pocket. The layout is as simple as it is elegant; a large bench seat in the cockpit and raised dinette on the semi-enclosed bridge deck provide seating for family and friends. Note that the inline galley is positioned behind the helm, opposite the dinette, rather than in the cabin. The entire bridge deck lifts on hydraulic rams for engine access. Below deck is a large and comfortable V-berth forward, convertible L-settee with inlaid teak table to port, and a large head with separate stall shower to starboard. (Note that a queen berth forward is standard in the 34 model.) The cabin is finished with varnished cherry joinery, premium hardware, and an elegant teak and holly sole. Wide side decks are a plus, and a Stidd helm chair and bow/stern thrusters are standard. Cruise at 20 knots with 435hp Cummins—or 440hp Yanmar—diesel (mid 20s top).
