I raced on a T33 with Scheel Keel. It was very competitive and easily sailed to its rating. The T34 was the same boat with an extended stern. A T28 with a deep fin could out point us but the T33 was much faster off the wind. These are 80’s boat not to be confused with the classic T33 of the seventies that had a centerboard.
