A family business that dates back to the late 1960s, Edy Sarin began building wooden interiors for Swann sailing boats before moving on to GRP sailing dinghies. Larger sail boats followed, and the first motorboat, the Minor 700, launched in 1978. A compact wheelhouse motorboat, it set the template that is still followed by the business today, now run by son Thomas Sarin. The Sargo 33 was launched to the public in 2016 at the Helsinki Boat Show, bridging the gap between the Sargo 31 and the Sargo 36.
INTERIOR
Maybe it’s a link to the company’s formative days building Swann interiors, but the inside of every Sargo boat is a very nice place to be. Like the Botnia, it’s a walkaround layout with sliding doors either side of the wheelhouse, but the Sargo 33 adds the option of a rear door straight out onto the aft deck, something this boat has. The main sleeping accommodation is forward, with a vee berth forecabin and the heads ahead of the wheelhouse. But lift a section of the saloon seating and you’ll discover another small but perfectly functional cabin for two more. There is an option of a second tiny heads for this cabin, again something this boat has.
EXTERIOR
No external helm position was offered on the Sargo, instead the boat gets a huge sliding roof section (it’s a manual operation, less sophisticated than a power roof but also far less complex). Add the three opening doors
