The Barbican 33 is a classic Maurice Griffiths cruising design, with a long shallow fin keel. Two options were offered, twin steel bilge plates, making her a triple-keeler able to take the ground upright, or a steel centreboard offering shoal draught with better windward performance

The Barbican 33 is based on the earlier Maurice Griffiths designed "Atlantic Clipper" hull, but with a much more traditional and attractive coachroof.  They were first built in 1979, and the photos here are from two Mk II Barbicans built in 1987 and 1990. Barbican Yachts offered a semi-custom interior design service, with various options for layout and finish

The hull and deck are GRP, in isophthalic resin.  The full length ballast keel has a keel hung rudder, and can also have either a steel centreplate, which when lowered increases the 4' 0"' draught to almost 8 feet, giving good windward performance for such a shallow draught boat, or twin steel bilge plates.   Whilst Barbicans are certainly not racers, neither are they slow.  They have a good record of long-distance ocean cruising, and a reputation for quality construction.  The interior fit-out is, as might be expected from looking at the classic lines, and solid deck fittings, designed for safety and comfort at sea, as well as when moored.  They were fitted out in a number of choices of timbers and veneers, including teak, mahogany and American white oak.
