Показать описание

"Astragale" is a Mason 33s designed by Al Mason in the late 50’s.

Professionally built in 1974 by Paul Mailloux of Mailloux Leclerc shipyard in Île-aux-Coudres, Charlevoix QC, using mild steel. Deck and hull plates are 1/8 of an inch, keel plates are 3/16 of an inch.

In 2004 ASTRAGALE was transported from Ontario to Quebec city were she underwent a complete and thorough refit.

A thorough inspection of the hull was conducted and a section of the bow, chain locker location, was replated with 3/16 of an inch by the son of M. Mailloux, who works as a professionnal ship welder.

A dog house was added, 1/8 of an inch plate, to have an inside watch area with a collapsible seat. Portholes made of lexan 3/8.

"Astragale" was back in the water in 2015 and navigated St-Lawrence river and the Maritimes.

The interior finish is to yacht standards; a great opportunity for a couple looking for a strong pocket cruiser to explore remote coves and bays.

Fully equipped for cruising with recent survey available on request.

This boat is a dreamers reality, she's all you want and need and then some for a couple or single handed. What a great condition she's in, fantastic! If one seeks for a solid little yacht to go anywhere, and got the money, there's no reason to hesitate but to go and snap it.

This boat was in Midland Ontario (Georgian Bay) back 20 years ago. A Canadian Air-Force retiree had her...I could have bought her( listed for 33k).Some skipper from Quebec bought her..I was aboard her...new interior looks great....this boat is very robust..

Nice job on the interior with the light colored wood. Makes it appear spacious.

Regarding the fold down bench. "You just aren't seeing it." The reason there is a hinge at the bottom of the leg or support piece is so it can fold up and rest on the ledge made for that purpose which protrudes out from the end of the settee that the red pillow is resting against. The ledge is the exact depth as the distance from the hinge to the end of the bench support (leg). I bet you anything, that is what it is for. You can see what I'm talking about at 9:43 in the video.

This is the second Mason you've toured. The other was a 64' built by Pacific Asian Enterprises - the Nordhavn people. PAE also had a Mason 33 but it seems to be a different boat and design.

Nice little boat. Looks very strong, if the entire boat is steel, hull, deck and house/dog house. Love the La Vac head and very nice engine and compartment. For northern cruising the diesel stove/heater is nice. Didn’t see the tankage?? And conveniently the displacement was not shown by you or the broker. Long overhangs and short waterline combined with the mass of steel in such a small boat would make her very very slow.

Very well laid out for use of all the space. It is the epitome of every thing in its place. I'm just a little claustifobic for that size space. For those that don't have that problem it would be ideal. My ideal would be this in a 37 footer hull.

That's a great boat for a couple.

Yep, great boat for great price, with the one issue of the wavy topsides that appear to be dented or wrinkled. No great flaw but for this nice boat to be dented..It would be worth fairing and painting so its straight.

It is this thing with rust! Slow but in general a good boat!

WOW! I love this! I grew up with steel boats. I think it would be so amazing to have a steel sailboat!!! I love the woodwork and cabin design. I am not sure about no having a quarter berth??? I think you did a really good job showing this boat! If I was in the market for another sailboat I would want this boat! This gives me some good ideas to upgrade the interior of my S2 8.5. Thanks for the video!!!

check bilges, thru hulls, engine room, look underside of decks wherever visible...the topsides was painted of course. def need survey for hull thickness. if all's well great for thems who like steel.

Jordan have you chosen an electrical system for your van yet? Eco Flow is an incredible system. I just watched a van build out using it @ Drifter Vans. While it’s not cheap it really solves all of your electrical needs. I’m not affiliated with them at all but I was thoroughly impressed with their quality.
