Coraggio 2

Cruiser-Racer Coraggio 2

Solidly built for offshore cruising, the Carter 33 is a classic cruiser-racer sloop. This vessel has been lovingly maintained, and pride of ownership is evident throughout. Warm teak decks and cockpit welcome the skipper and crew.

Easy to manage shorthanded, she is a joy to sail with in-mast furling as well as roller furling headsail with a choice of a 155% genoa (approx 8 yrs old) or racing 135% genoa (approximately 3 years old). The Quantum mainsail is approx 4 years old. All sails are in very good condition. A running backstay allows fine-tuning the rig.

4 winches at the cockpit, two Lewmar 46 and 2 Lewmar 16s, provide easy handling of multiple sails. 2 winches, on the port and starboard side of the mast, manage halyards and topping lift. There is a rigid boom vang.

Silent, powerful below-deck Raymarine Smartpilot assists the short-handed sailor and also serves as a backup steering option.

Updated electronics in 2023 include both a 12 and 7 inch Raymarine axiom chart plotter in the cockpit, allowing skipper and crew to follow the course. An AIS receiver is provided by the Standard Horizon Matrix fixed-mount VHF. Two new programmable Raymarine i70 multi displays report wind data, depth, speed and more above the companionway, easily visible for all crew. A large Ritchie compass is at the helm.

An electric windlass with up and down foot pedals serves the 10 kg Delta anchor at the bow. There is an additional Fortress-style anchor.

A reliable Universal M3 20hp engine was installed in 2014 and has approximately 650 hours. There is a 2 blade folding Maxiprop, and the shaft has a dripless stuffing box. Batteries include a separate start battery, supplied by one 50 watt solar panel with MPPT controller, and 2 house batteries served by a 100 watt solar panel with MPPT controller.
