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

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][2][3][6]

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 33.67 ft (10.3 m), a waterline length of 28.83 ft (8.8 m), displace 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) and carry 4,400 lb (1,996 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boats were all factory-fitted with a Universal 5242 diesel engine of 24 hp (18 kW). The fuel tank holds 26 U.S. gallons (98 L; 22 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal).[1]

The boats all have a hull speed of 7.19 kn (13.32 km/h).[7]

Variants
Tartan 33 (hull numbers 1-20)
This model was introduced in 1979 and about 20 were built in this configuration. It has a fractional sloop rig with a shorter fore-triangle (parameter "I") by 3 ft (0.9 m) and longer boom (parameter "E") by 2.63 ft (0.8 m) than later boats. The boat has a draft of 4.42 ft (1.35 m) with the standard fin keel. The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 162 with a high of 162 and low of 168.[2][8]
Tartan 33 (Hull numbers 21-201)
This model was introduced in 1979 and about 181 were built in this configuration. It has a fractional sloop rig with a longer fore-triangle (parameter "I") by 3 ft (0.9 m) and shorter boom (parameter "E") by 2.63 ft (0.8 m) than later boats. The boat has a draft of 4.56 ft (1.39 m) with the standard Scheel keel and 6.25 ft (1.91 m) with the optional longer fin keel.[1][7]
Tartan 33 R
This model was also introduced in 1979 and 14 examples were built. It was intended to be a more competitive racing boat than the Tartan 33 and has a masthead sloop rig. The boat has a draft of 6.30 ft (1.92 m) with the standard fin keel fitted. The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 156 with a high of 162 and low of 153.[3][9]
gollark: It doesn't do it in place.
gollark: Sounds imbalanced.
gollark: So if they make a 4970X or something with even more cores, you could maybe swap that in.
gollark: What if you need to make your laptop unusable very fast?
gollark: What if you need to... quickly inspect your CPU die and don't need to use it afterward?
