Overview

Designed by Sparkman & Stephens, the Tartan 33 is one of the most sought-after models on the brokerage market. "EROICA" has the powerful yet easy-to-handle fractional rig (sail area 531 sq.ft.) along with the innovative Scheel keel, providing excellent performance despite a draft of only 4'5"- great for Island cruising!. The second owner has maintained her well but no longer has time to enjoy her. Legendary Tartan quality, capable of being competitive on the race course, and comfortable for extended cruising or liveaboard, this one is a must-see.

T33 Forum Discussion

The Boat

Overall, the Tartan 33 is a well-built straightforward cruiser/racer, with good storage and simple, accessible systems, which will hit hull speed given the right conditions and an able crew. Comfortable enough for four on weekends, the boat will also deliver safe and secure long-distance capability for coastal cruising couples. She's no turbo on the racecourse but she wins her share against some of the best in class and can be singled-handed with comparative ease. The Universal 5424 (24 hp) diesel pushes her nicely through the water at 5.5-6.5 kts, cruise-loaded, usually burning half-a-gallon per hour.

Most cruiser/racers are compromise boats. For the most part, T33s favor the cruising side of the equation. Conversely, the Tartan Tens and T33Rs favor the racing side.

Hello Blue Water?

Blue-water capability is generally on the mind of a cruising sailor. Is the T33 designed to be blue-water capable? Yes, given the proper gear, boat condition, and an experienced crew. A spokesperson for S&S recently stated, "Each owner must decide for himself, or by professional survey, the structural condition of the hull and deck, rig condition, and safety gear required for extended passages.  With proper condition and the skipper knowledge suitable to offshore passage making, we see no reason that a T33 can't travel world wide (in moderate climes)."

At this writing, we know that T33s have made the commute from the East coast to Bermuda and back and a good number have cruised the Caribbean.

According to S&S, "A typical IMS club-certificate for the T33 lists a limit of positive stability of 119º - adequate for offshore work." In addition, due to Rod Stephens commitment to proper offshore design, the T33 includes a deep, safe cockpit with drains, more than adequate handholds, and sea berths. 

Scheel Keel 

Scheel Keels were offered on nearly 50 different boat designs. Increased demand for shallow draft boats without a centerboard was spurred, at least in part, by the increase in the Florida and Bahamas charter trade. Henry Scheel designed and patented the keel. The concept was to reduce draft, eliminate the centerboard, and provide sufficient ballast while keeping a low center of gravity. Further, the entire keel system had to be sturdy enough to withstand groundings. Keel bolts on T33s are directly accessible via the bilge.

Scheel Keel Design Objectives:                                                                                                                 

  • Reduce draft
  • Eliminate centerboard
  • Low ballast/center of gravity
  • Reduce leeward-to-windward water flow
