The Tartan 33 is family of American sailboats, that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and first built in 1979.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

The Tartan 33R design was developed into the Tartan 34-2 in 1984, by extending the stern and changing the interior layout.[1] [5] [8] [9]

Production

The boat line was built by Tartan Marine in the United States between 1979 and 1984, but it is now out of production. Tartan completed 201 Tartan 33s and 14 Tartan 33 R models.[1] [5] [2] [3] [6] [7] [10]

Design

The Tartan 33 line are all small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have internally-mounted spade-type rudders and fixed keels. All models have a length overall of 33.671NaN1, a waterline length of 28.831NaN1, displace 100000NaN0 and carry 44000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [5]

The boats were all factory-fitted with a Universal 5242 diesel engine of 240NaN0. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [3] [5]

The boats all have a hull speed of 7.192NaN2.[5] [11]
