Introducing MAKA, a 1985 Mason 33, an exceptional bluewater cruiser that combines comfort with reliable performance. Crafted by the esteemed Al Mason and built at the prestigious Ta Shing Yard—famous for Nordhavn, Taswell, and Tashiba—this sturdy cruiser boasts a hand-laid fiberglass construction that meets +100 A-1 standards. The boat features durable, low-maintenance fiberglass decks with excellent factory non-skid surfaces. Systematically upgraded for bluewater adventures, MAKA is equipped with the latest rigging, sails, electronics, energy systems, and safety gear, making her truly turn-key for both coastal and long-distance offshore sailing.

Additional features include a Hydrovane self-steering system, a Spectra Ventura watermaker, a Lofrans Tigress windlass, and an extensive sail inventory featuring a staysail, storm trysail/jib, and an asymmetric spinnaker with sock. For communications and navigation, there’s an ICOM SSB, VHF, and Raymarine autopilot along with wind, speed, and depth instrumentation.
