65 Custom 1983 Yacht for Sale

65' Custom 1983

US-33 was optimistically named “Defender” in anticipation of the role its original owner had hoped it would play at the competition for the 25th America’s Cup Races in 1983. Designed by David Pedrick, US-33 was built at Newport Offshore, LTD, in Newport, RI in 1982. Despite being masterfully skippered by Tom Blackaller, Defender was out-paced by both Liberty (US-40) and Courageous (US-26) in the elimination trials. After spending the late 1980s - 1990s on the West Coast, and from 2000 - 2010 in Florida, the yacht was purchased and was given a complete restoration by Dennis Williams. After successful racing seasons in Newport from 2015 - 2017, Defender now sits awaiting a new owner
