The molds were then sold to Bayliner who built the boat  as the Buccaneer 295. They added an ugly house and interior.

Bayliner reincarnated the boat as the US Yachts 30. They  made a slight increase in rig size and freeboard height.

Pearson, in 1984, in a last ditch attempt to freshen their line,  bought the US Yachts molds and produced a few boats as  the Triton 30.

The Chaser 29 is a 29.25ft masthead sloop designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by Chaser Yachts (CAN) since 1975.

The Chaser 29 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.

Review of Chaser 29

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The Chaser 29 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.71 - 1.81 meter (5.61 - 5.91 ft) dependent on the load.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine at 30 hp (22 kW). Calculated max speed is about 7.7 knots

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.8 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

anyone know anything about a peterson 33

  • Add to quote

Looking at a Peterson 33 on yachtworld. Supposedly a good racer/cruiser. Anyone know anything about these boats ie performance sailing charecterisitcs, phrf rating etc. I seen a couple different ones on yachtworld but they seem to be layed out quite a bit different. thanks Terry  

chaser 29 sailboat

There were several producers of Peterson 33s over the years. Chaser yachts built a 29 and a 33 in Ontario for a while, these molds were later bought by Bayliner and produced as US yachts(Buccaneer 295/US30 & US33) for a time, also in various versions. There were also a series of 33 petersons built in Korea, local scuttlebut has it that these were quite well put together. You're looking at typical late 70s/early 80s IOR design, pinched ends, good upwind performance and possibly a bit rolly downwind in a breeze with the kite up. Short "E" measurements and relatively long "J" maximimizes headsail and spinnaker sizes for the rig. The cockpit will be smallish, especially compared to newer boats with maximum beam extended aft. I met a fellow this past summer with a Korean built 33, he was happy with the boat with the exception of the galley and the size of the head - he was a tall man and found the head very tight, the galley had little space or storage. However he said he did a lot of singlehanding. Hope this helps.  

update on Peterson 33 Hi there...just looking at the Peterson 33. Any updates on this model? the one I'm looking at was built in korea. Thanks Adam  

I don't know much about the Korean version of these boats but you can find out some history about the Chasers. Here. Chaser 29 Sailboat ‎(chaser 29 sailboat)‎

    A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
