MALA is the ideal boat for performance cruising, offshore racing and shorthanded sailing – the “no compromise” J/133C. She was built for a very knowledgeable sailor who had her customized for optimized sailing performance and ease of handling. Unlike her sisterships, she has no bow sprit, a custom carbon mast set up for non-overlapping jibs and a custom interior that features increased storage and a main salon pilot berth.

Perfect for a Bermuda race or extended cruising, she has a diesel generator, dinghy davits, increased water tankage, electric halyard winch and an extensive electronics inventory – other features that separate her from standard J/133’s.

Starting forward, the master cabin features a large V-berth with storage below in two curved-front drawers. This cabin also has a hanging locker, bureau, settee and private en-suite VacuFlush head.

Next aft is the main salon with a large J/46-style varnished cherry drop-leaf table (with bottle storage compartment) that divides two equal settees which convert to sleeping berths. Excellent storage is provided outboard of both settees. Above the starboard settee is a pilot berth, and opposite to port, the space was used to create more storage cabinets. The interior is finished in "Herreshoff Style," with white flats and varnished cherry trim. The sole is varnished teak and holly.

The galley is aft of the starboard settee, and the large forward-facing nav station is aft of the port settee.

The aft cabin is to starboard. This cabin has a double berth, vinyl siding, vanity with drawers and cabinet, full-length shelf and hanging locker.

Opposite to port is the aft head. This head has a walk-through to the cockpit storage locker, wet locker outboard of the head and jacket storage behind the door.

The J-shaped galley is mid-ships to starboard. Her countertops are upgraded to Corian.
