Tartan 33--Classic?
Tartan 33--Classic?
I have been lusting after the tartan 34C for months now, and have gotten on a few to have a look. But I have to admit that the tartan 33 has really caught my eye. It seems to incorporate (as the ad copy suggests) many of the good qualities of the 3o and 34. The 33 is less cluttered below, and has the steering station aft in the cockpit, which I like. Is the 33 as good a boat?

The 33 is a more "modern" boat, and I'm sure it has a lot more room on deck and below than its more traditional siblings (the 30 and 34C). To me, the 33 has a completely different personality and appearance than the 34C, so attempting to compare the two isn't really fair. They're different boats from different eras, with different design mantras and phiosophies.
What it comes down to is this: Tartan is generally well-thought of in terms of the build quality and execution of their boats. So from this standpoint the 33 could be a good choice. If you like the boat, that's what really matters, though. None of the rest matters.
