The K33 was the very first Kelly Yachts boat. Almost immediately after her appearance, she received the Millenium Yacht Design award for the best design of a sailing yacht no longer than 10 metres long. In fact, it is difficult to find another sailing boat of the same length, with three full-size cabins and showers, with a height of more than 190 centimeters. The whole secret is contained in the original layout: a similar gangway to the salon is shifted to the right of the DP, and on its traditional place is equipped with a garage stand.

The yacht was originally designed «from the hull by»drawing a fast and light hull with a small area of wet surface. Its main advantage is the absence of water lines: even at the heel of the yacht, the water lines remain symmetrical, which significantly reduces the yacht’s yawning and her tendency to broach. The design and production technology of the hull is quite modern: manual lamination of the sandwich structure using vinyl epoxy resin as a bonding agent.
