Friend of mine had a Tartan 33 masthead (it also comes as a fractional). It had structural issues at the keel stump. I personally re-attached a couple of structural members which spanned the bilge which had come loose. Looked like Tartan hadn't properly prepped the bonding surface when they tabbed the structural members.
The boat was plagued by recurring structural cracks in the hull where it curved down to the keel stub. The owner even worked with Tim Jackett, the designer, to develop a fix. The fix was so expensive the owner finally sold the boat through a salvage site and moved on. Not saying all T33's are plagued but just one data point. Dennis C.
