Notes: Garden design #611.\nOriginally the TRUANT 33 built by Truant Marine, BC, CA. (1977)\nIt is said a small number were built in California by North Coast Yachts between 1979 and 1982\nThe tooling was acquired by Saturna Yachts of Saanichton, BC.(1981?)\nFor the SATURNA 33 the deck and coach roof were re-designed (by W. Garden)\nAvailable as Pilothouse (shown) or Offshore versions.\nThe deck , hull and other various components were sold separately if requested. \nThe molds were later acquired by Wiggers Custom Yachts where a few more were built.\nIt is thought that less than 50 boats were completed to this basic design.\nThanks to Saturna owner, Bob Coulson, for providing additional information.\nAdditional thanks to Saturna (hull #18) owner John Ellis for further clarifications.
