safety                            

MD Buzzards Bay owners are more likely to head beyond the normal cruising grounds, a bit farther away from touches of society. Fortunately, the MD Buzzards Bay has greater levels of safety than conventional boats to match its adventurous spirit.

 Don't put all your eggs in one basket

The Buzzards Bay 33's twin hull form increases safety by the power of two. Two hulls for excellent flood control. Two separate machinery spaces for redundancy in critical propulsion systems. Two engines with single engine performance that is anything but conventional. Try 20 knot's on one engine with excellent tracking and steering control. Buzzards Bay 33 owners often run one engine to improve their fuel efficiency.

 Useful Speed 

 Speed without comfort and control is useless. The Buzzards Bay 33OB and 33TD display such poise at speed that owners find themselves traveling at much faster rates than they first anticipated. This easy speed allows you to comfortably get out of or avoid adverse conditions. With today's easy access to real time weather information on board, a prepared Buzzards Bay 33 owner will find it increasingly easy to avoid getting "caught out in it".

The Buzzards Bay 33's excellent high-speed comfort and control make completely waiting out a storm a very acceptable alternative, with the knowledge that all lost time can be made up quickly by traveling a little faster in calm. Making time: that's an ability that trawler owners just don't have.

  Flood Control

Our boats have a distinct advantage over all mono-hulls because we spread our buoyancy needs over two hulls which are widely spaced apart. In most every case of impact, only one hull is likely to be damaged, leaving the other intact, providing stability and protection of the propulsion system. Within each hull, individual buoyancy compartments limit the extent that flooding can occur, with secure crash compartments forward, and sealed bilges running most of the hulls length. 

The MD Buzzards Bay.  A safer boat for your world.  Today and tomorow.
