Seller's Description
This 1983 Tartan T33 is a sloop designed and built to the high quality you would expect from Tartan. This design was first offered in 1979 and continued through 1984 with 220 boats built.
Below she has standing headroom throughout the teak-trimmed cabin. There is a settee berth and a pilot berth to port and another settee with storage shelves to starboard. Combined with the quarter berth and the double forepeak berth this T33 will accommodate 6 comfortably.
There is also a seat at the opening to the quarter berth and a large chart table that folds out of the way when not needed.
The galley is to starboard of the companionway and includes a new gimbaled Eno stove and oven and a new Dometic cold plate for the icebox in 2021.
The head is on the port side between the forepeak and the salon and there is a hanging locker to starboard.
There is also a table in the salon that folds out of the way when not needed.
On deck, this T33 includes a Selden furler (2018). Also new in 2019 were a new North Sails mainsail a 130 Genoa(Dacron), and new standing rigging (except for the backstay).
The cockpit includes two Lewmar self-tailing winches and two 2-speed winches on the cabin roof along with 6 line clutches.
Electronics include a CPT autopilot, a Ritchie compass, and an iCom IC-M56 VHF radio.
The boat has 340 watts of solar power and two 100AHr lithium-ion batteries.
Additionally, in 2019 the bottom got a complete blister repair of the hull and was finished using West Systems epoxy with 2 extra coats of epoxy barrier paint.
This T33 has been on the hard since May of 2023, so the top side needs a good cleaning and probably fresh bottom paint before splashing. But it won’t take much more than some time and some elbow grease to get her back on the water and riding the wind.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.7 kn
Classic: 7.2 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
18.6
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.
Formula
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
-
44.0
>40: stiffer, more powerful
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
186.1
100-200: light
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
20.9
20-30: coastal cruiser
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
The TARTAN 33 R is the masthead rigged, more racing oriented, version of the TARTAN 33 and is relatively rare.
