The Nova 33 is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by Peter Norlin as a cruiser and first built in 1981.

[1][2][6][7] The Nova 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim.

The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

[1][2] The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM diesel engine of 15 hp (11 kW) for docking and manoeuvring.

[2] The boat is supported by an active class club based in Sweden, that organizes racing events, the Novaförbundet (English: Nova Association).
