Can we call the Princess 33 MK2 a classic? I believe so because this is actually quite an iconic boat in the history of Princess Yachts.

PRINCESS 33 MK2

BUILT 1984 PRICE £ 29, 950

Marine Projects, as it was originally known, started life in 1965 with the Project 31, which morphed into the first ever Princess in 1969, the Princess 32. Its first flybridge was the 37 in 1973 and the MK1 Princess 33 followed in 1974. This was a deck saloon boat, with the option of a small flybridge. The 33 Mk2 that followed it in 1981 differed by being predominantly a flybridge boat (although a non flybridge version was available) and it set the tone for all Princess boats through the 1980s.

GRAND BANKS 42

The Grand Banks 42 could be credited for setting the template for every Grand Banks up to recent times, and indeed arguably the template for the entire trawler yacht genre, with many other companies such as Island Gypsy and C-Kip producing boats modelled along similar lines.
