The Arco 33 is an American sailboat that was designed by Wirth Munroe as a cruiser and first built in 1958. The design is noted as one of the first fiberglass production sailboats of its size built.
The design was built by Crystaliners Corporation (Glassco Inc.) in Miami, Florida, United States. The company completed 15 boats starting in 1958, but it is now out of production.
The Arco 33 molds were later sold to Columbia Yachts and the design was developed into the Columbia 33 Caribbean in 1963.
The Arco 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional yawl rig with the addition of a mizzen mast. Features include a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 12,000 lb (5,443 kg).
The boat has a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) with the centreboard extended and 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with it retracted.
The boat is fitted with a Palmer H-60 22 hp (16 kW) gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering.
The design has a hull speed of 6.46 kn (11.96 km/h).
