The design of the Chaparral 330 is an ‘Extended V’.

The 20-degree deadrise comes well aft and the hull is designed to plane easily at low speeds and cut through chop without slamming.
The Chaparral 330 comes with full camper covers, converting the cockpit and bridge deck into one big indoor entertaining area. Entry is via a door on the centreline from the big aft swim platform. The platform itself is large and ideal for sunbaking in the warm months or swinging a rubber duck from. There are two handy lockers built into the transom, which are ideal for wet gear, fenders, or mooring lines. There’s a built-in deck shower there, too. In the cockpit, there’s a two-seater lounge to port and four-seater dinette to starboard, further forward to port is the ‘entertainment area’ which sports a solid Corian benchtop with a sink below. Forward, again, is another lounge, opposite the helm station. The helm seats are a broad double affair that can be individually folded up for standing or sitting. Vision is excellent all around.

BELOW DECKS
Entry to the saloon is via a sliding door, down a few steps and into the main saloon, which is broad, light and airy. The manufacturers have made good use of the beam and there is close to two metres of head room. The cabinetry is of light maple with a high-gloss sheen. A compact galley, a stainless steel sink with stainless taps and fittings, a two-burner electric stove, microwave, Isotherm stainless fridge and plenty of storage for food and utensils. All the benchtops are solid Corian. The teak and holly laminated wood cabin sole gives a traditional nautical flavour to what is a modern and tasteful saloon. The head to starboard is roomy. It has an electric loo with macerator and holding tank. There’s a hot shower and vanity, and a handy inclusion of an electric extractor fan. The aft cabin is to port. This is separated by a solid entry door and has a vanity unit with sink, mirror and storage. There is also a little upholstered lounge seat for changing or just relaxing.
