The Tartan 33 is a recreational keelboat. About 220 were built by Tartan Marine in the United States between 1979 and 1984.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Designed by Sparkman & Stephens, it has a Scheel keel and a fractional rig, and performance is similar to other boats of its type.[9] Its mainsail is slightly over 300 square feet. The cockpit is better for cruising than racing, given its size.[9] It has a hull speed of 7.19 kn (13.32 km/h).[5][10]

In the cabin, the V-berth is separated from the main cabin by the head, which includes a shower.[9] A large double quarterberth is found aft of the nav station.
