Hi Dennis The 1979-1984 boats were designed by Sparkman and Stephens. The masthead 33 was actually a Tartan 33R designed also by Sparkman and Stephens and built 1979-1984. Tim Jacket designed the C&C99 which was built starting 2002 by the Tartan owned C&C yachts. Which was your friend’s boat? The 1979 33R or a 2002+ C&C 99?

Subject: Re: Stus-List Anyone know a Tartan 33 named Spry in Point Pleasant NJ? 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.

They also wish to be able to enter the occasional club race (white sail, shorthanded with only 2 or 3) and want something with a draft 5 feet or under. One boat that has been suggested is the Tartan 33 (not the Tartan 10). In Point Pleasant NJ there is a yachtworld listing for what appears to be an excellent example of this boat with many recent upgrades. On the surface this appears to be an ideal boat. Does anyone on the list have any familiarity with the boat? https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1980/Tartan-33-3088679/Point-Pleasant/NJ/United-States?refSource=browse%20listing#.W6t9J3tKipo Mike Persistence Halifax, NS _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
