Gladiateur 33

Gladiateur 33 is a 32 ′ 10 ″ / 10 m monohull sailboat designed by Holman & Pye and Kim Holman and built by Wauquiez between 1977 and 1986.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Tall Rig: I: 46.00’ / 14.02m J: 14.00’ / 4.27m P: 41.00’ / 12.50m E: 11.10’ / 3.38m

Broker's Comments

A very well regarded model designed by Donald Pye of Holman & Pye and built in France by Henri Wauquiez, very popular in its day.

This example benefits from a professional revision of the saildrive and engine by a professional Volvo Penta service with a guarantee.

Below there is a good sized forward cabin with a separate toilet and shower, comfortable saloon and a large navigation station and chart table with a large berth in the aft area.

The boat was stored ashore for 6 years and a protective preventative epoxy treatment was applied to the hull in the winter of 2022/2023. Hull topsides painted March 2023. New propellor

Broker's Comments

Built from 1977 to 1986, the Gladiateur 33 was designed by Holman and Pye as a slightly larger (33 feet) replacement for the Centurion, another successful model built by Wauquiez in France ahead of Wauquiez being acquired by Beneteau. It has enjoyed a reputation for being a very sturdy and capable ocean cruiser. She has a good sized cockpit and has remained a very tidy example. Standing rigging replaced 2014 and mast re-seated.

Wauquiez Gladiateur 33?

• Add to quote

Never heard of these before, but one popped up on my radar. -- Any comments on the quality of the construction (Wauquiez) or the character of the boat? Is this a blue water worthy cruiser? Do they sail well? Any reputation? Looks pretty http://www.sailboatlistings.com/sailimg/m/16929/BR_at_Anchor_la_Paz.jpg  

Here's a link to the blog of another member here, Livia, who sails a 35' version... SV Estrellita 5.10b You might PM her for some first hand opinions.  

IIRC the 35' version "Preditor" or some such name is sailed off shore a bunch. As Faster mentioned, a poster on here is using one, I know of another fellow from here in the seattle area that is heading south in the 35'r. I would imagine the 33 you are looking at will be of equal quality etc. Waquiez is an upscale french builder, so overall quality etc should be better than say jeanneau, beneteau, or american equals, ie Catalina Hunter etc. Marty  

Wauquiez owners yahoo group which is reasonably active wauquiez-boats : Wauquiez Boats Kulokoo - I'll PM you.  

Livia, There is another couple I know down here, Laureen Buckoltz(SP?) that has a pretorian and heading south later this year, do you know them? Marty  

Hi Marty, Yes - I just emailed with Lauren today actually. There is a nice yearly Wauquiez owners meet up in Port Townsend, WA and we've met a bunch of owners through that. There are mostly Pretoriens and Centurions at the meet up but also some Hoods and Gladiateurs. Thanks for the suggestion, Livia  

Livia, I wondered if you did not know him. Seems like a lot of folks with X brand yachts that go to Rendezvous's know other owners local with like boats especially. There was recently sold out of my marina "Semper Fi" She was in incredible shape from what I could tell walking by to my boat. I'm hoping to get up your way in mid June to poets cove to a jeanneau owners meeting, not sure if i will......always hope at this stage of the game, if not, there is always next year! Marty

Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 information Here's my web page for my Gladiateur, hull #278, which has several links that you might want to explore: "Northwest Passage", Wauquiez Gladiateur 33 Sailboat ​ There are several reviews available on-line for the Pretorien, the big sister to the Gladiateur, including reviews by Jack Horner and by Practical Sailor. There is also a Yahoo Wauquiez group: wauquiez-boats : Wauquiez Boats ​ _______________ Brian Stipak Portland, OR  

A bit off topic --- but I have just finished reading Hal Roth's book "How to sail around the world" & Hal completed the voyages on a Pretorian 35. For what it's worth, I looked at the 33' Gladiateur for quite some time, but eventually decided to move my thinking to something larger. In my opinion, if you want 33' of boat, you can not go wrong with the Gladiateur. Quite the fantastic world cruiser....  

I currently have Bona Roba under contract. I would be interested to learn what Kulokoo thought of her, as well as meeting other Gladiateur owners.

About GLADIATOR

View all yachts for charter

She is deceptively spacious inside and out for a yacht of her size with vast deck spaces and voluminous interiors. She has flexible, family-friendly accommodation with all cabins on the main deck for one-level living, an excellent sun deck with jacuzzi and outdoor cinema, plenty of gym equipment and watertoys for everyone.

GLADIATOR’s stand-out feature is the large beach club with a huge hydraulic swim platform extending out to the 14.6m (48ft) Anvera chase tender, which has folding sea terraces aft extending to 5.5m (18.1ft). As well as step-free boarding for the tender, this creates an immense and versatile deck space at sea level where guests spend endless hours of fun. From adrenaline thrills on the Sea-Doos to more relaxed exploring on a water bicycle, bouncing on floating islands and whizzing down a 9m (29.5ft) waterslide from the sun deck, there is so much to do.

Fitness fans will love the gym facilities in the beach club, perfect for sea-level workouts. Once you have reached your fitness goals for the day, you can unwind in the adjoining steam room. When ready for lunch, guests have step-free boarding onto the chase tender that will speed them at up to 50 knots to a deserted white-sand beach where the crew has set up the yacht’s BBQ for a beach party.

Come evening, you may choose to dine on the bridge deck aft or in the main lounge for a more formal setting. The sky lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened to create a wonderful al fresco space and the sun deck offers another large area with sun loungers, jacuzzi and coffee tables for perfect relaxation under the extendable awning.

Her 10 guests can choose from four convertible cabins on the main deck; all are bright and fresh with large windows and neutral shades of cream, taupe and grey throughout. Waking up in the main deck master suite, guests will greet the morning light through a skylight longer than the bed and picture windows either side before freshening up in an incredibly spacious en suite with a central bath.

GLADIATOR has the sort of charter feedback that lets us guarantee guests a fantastic experience every time.

Interview With Ex-Leader From Gladiators Firm 96 (Spartak Moscow)

Interview with Vasiliy, also known as “Killer,” one of the leading Russian football enthusiasts who supported Spartak Moscow fervently during the 2000s.

He was a key figure in the Gladiator Firm 96, a group known for promoting fair play in arranged matches. Here’s a glimpse into his story:

– Hey, how old are you, how long do you go to matches of Spartak Moscow?

I am Vasiliy the “Killer”. I’m 35. I started supporting Spartak Moscow when I was 5. In 1995 I started coming to the stadium and became part of the supporters’ scene when off the stadium. Now, my two sons stand beside me at the matches – this makes me truly proud.

– Can you introduce “Gladiators Firm 96”? What are your greatest achievements?

The “Gladiators” appeared in 1996. They were the guys who did not want to be among the “Flint’s Crew”, the first official hooligan group for “Spartak” supporters. The Flint’s followed the “English” format, while the “Gladiators” wanted to mix the styles of Italy, the Balkans and Russia. Gradually, the Gladiators developed their own, unique, Russian way. In the 90’s, “Gladiators” took part in nearly all the fights with the opponents of “Spartak”: CSKA, Dynamo, Zenith. In the beginning of the century, the “Gladiators” experienced decline, but came back to the scene by 2004 / 2005, and remain among top hooligan “Spartak” supporters. I joined the “Gladiators” in 1998. There have been many fights since then. The most significant fights for me took place in Moscow: “Sokolniki-1998” (till now, considered the biggest fight in Russia, with over 1000 people taking part from each side); “Kitai-gorod-2001”, “The year 1905 street-2006”, “Severyanin-2007”. Those were the great fights against CSKA: draw / win / loss / loss. In 2004, we had a fight with “Dynamo” hooligans on “Prospect Mira” [ironically translates as the “Peace street”]. It was probably the cruelest fight of all which brought to its participants both health problems and issues with the police. There was another fight at “Volzhskaya” in 2007. In 2005, in St. Petersburg, we had a “meeting” with “Zenith” supporters at “Prospect Bolshevikov”. We won – and the “Gladiators” put a lot of effort into this victory. There were loads more local and massive fights. But I name the ones that were important to me and were the best ones. For more history and ideology of the “Gladiators”, go to www.gf96.com. Starting from 2010, the soccer supporting culture in Russia significantly changed – we entered a phase of “forest fights” – Polish format. This is like some kind of sport, and it’s very popular. So popular that only the best Polish firms can compete with the top Russian ones.

– Who are you friends with? Do you maintain contacts with “Lech Poznan”?

Some guys maintain personal contact with “Lech Poznan”, nothing official. They are very strong guys,top hooligans in Europe. Officially, the Gladiators are the “brothers” of the “Ultraboys” (Red Star Belgrade Serbia). Historically, Russia and Serbia are very close to each other. We have one religion, similarity in culture and people’s national identity. This autumn, we celebrate 9th start of our relationship. The result of our special relationship is the friendship between “Spartak” and “Red Star”. At our stadium grand opening, our club’s President invited our Serbian friends to play. It was a big honour for all of us.

– How do you stand in comparison with rivals such as CSKA, Dynamo or Zenith?

The Gladiators are among Top10 in Russia and Top3 hooligan firms for “Spartak”.

– What is your view on the situation in Ukraine?

We have civil war in Ukraine – and this is a tragedy. I support Novorussiya (South East of Ukraine) which fights against Ukrainian military forces. For you to understand the situation better, here are the examples: Serbians cannot support Croatians or Albanians in any conflicts against the Serbs (this is not possible), true Polish people will never forget the massacre in Volyn done by the Ukrainians (and will never call them brothers). Same for me – I am fully for the Russians. They are the heroes fighting for their land, their national identity. Talking about the current situation on a broader scale – Europe is trying to fight Russia with sanctions, while it is ordinary people who take the brunt – in Poland, Czech Republic, France etc. It is strange to see accusations of Russia getting the Malasian Boeng down, while the official results have not been announced yet, have they? Clearly, Europe or the States are not interested in learning the truth, all they need is the victory in “informational” war. Strangely, coming from a country with allegedly tough regime, I can read and watch Russian, Ukrainian, European or American channels or newspapers, while there are no alternative sources of information in Europe. This leads to you, Europeans, discussing a hundred people who died in Kiev, while there are thousands victims in Donbass. By the way, no Russian channels are shown in Ukraine. And frankly, there is no freedom of voice or democratic values declared by the West. It’s just about one oligarch clique fighting against another one. The current group took power in the bloody way and is leading country into crisis, chaos, civil war and dependence on the West. Tthis is what happens in Ukraine. Novorossiya’s flags are not separatists’ flags. However, so far only Zenith fan-group showed their official support for Novorossiya, the rest are either silent or stated their neutrality. The same position was voiced by “Fratria” – movement uniting a vast number of hooligans and ultras. Based on their decision, in the “Fratria” fan zone there can be no Novorossiya’s flags or anything supporting Ukraine. This happened after Ivan Bogdanov from Serbia displayed the Donetsk Republic flag during the match that was held at the stadium grand opening. My opinion is that showing neutrality now is like showing your back to the Russian people in Donbass. Why are some Russians so reluctant to support Novorossiya? Because it is supported by Putin. We have this parado x situation: if Putin says “yes”, you have to say “no”, just to contradict him. What if he says the right things? Do you have to say the wrong ones just to follow this logic? Putin is a politician, and today he supports Novorossia, and tomorrow he might change his mind. What remains stable is the support we ought to give as a country to the Russian people, independent from the situation. Protection of the Russian people is the main task of Russia. Imagine: just some hundreds kilometers away from you, in the 21 st century, there are people who are shooting, robbing, killing and raping! And this is accepted by the EU! I believe that one day you will learn the tough truth about what is happening. In both armies, there are some European representatives, fighting for money, truth or beliefs. Who will be the winner? Of course, the Russians – this was always the way. However, on the global scale there will be no winners. Coming back to Novorossiya’s flags on the tribunes of Spartak stadium – yes, they are there and there they will be. Not in Fratria’s sector, but there is more to Spartak fans than Fratria. Hopefully, in the nearest future things will change, and we will see a gigantic banner in the Fratria sector, devoted to Igor Strelkov, the great commander of home guards.

– Spartak is followed by many good bands, is there any rivalry between you and other groups?

At present, Spartak has two powerful hooligan groups which are competing for the first position in the red-and-white movement. These are the “School” and the “Union”. The Gladiators are not as vast in size and therefore occupy the third place of this informal rating.

– What is your view on the hooligan scene in Europe? Who is a good opponent for you?

I personally have great respect for movements which have more depth in them, on top of the support of their favorite club or city. As long as they stand for their country, historical and moral values, they have my respect, and I don’t give a sh*t as to how good their performance is on the stadium.

– Was “Okolofutbalu” inspired by the real events? Was it favoured by the Russian public? Did it bring any income? Will there be a sequel?

As a viewer, I liked the film–it was not top of the cash-box, but overall it was not bad. There are some real events from the Russian soccer-scene– some were made too soppy (to be liked by the girls). Some episodes were filmed with real people who originally took part in the events. I remember there was an episode when the red-and-white team made an ambush for “Dynamo Moscow” top group. One of the main characters in the film uses my words from a real situation. Both in reality and in the film, he caught an opponents’ scout before the fight and told him: “Now, you will attack them with us”. That was a joint action of the Gladiators and the Flints Crew. In reality, the fight did not take place, as one of the Gladiators got out too early and shouted “Red and white!”. After these words, most of the top Dynamo guys (apart from two), ran away.
