Seacracker 33 / Tufglas 33 / Trintella IIA

Brief details
|
Builder |
Tylers/ Lifeline Ltd. |
A fast cruiser-racer
from the 1970s/80s, the Seacracker 33 was also known as a Trintella
IIA and Tyler Tufglas 33. Like all Van de Stadt designs, they have
an excellent reputation for performance and seaworthiness. Externally, they resemble Contessa
32s and S&S 34s, with moderate beam, long overhangs, and a wineglass
section fin and skeg hull with an excellent ballast ratio, all these
characteristics producing good seagoing performance with high ultimate
stability. |

The Seacracker 33 and Trintella IIA designs are essentially
the same boat, designed by Van de Stadt in 1965 as a fast seaworthy
cruiser-racer. The Trintellas were originally built in Holland
by Anne Wever, and in the early 1970s the design was taken up
by Tylers of Rochester in Kent, the UK-built boats being very
slightly more heavily constructed than the Dutch versions. Just
12 Seacracker 33s were built by Tylers before they changed the
name to the Tufglas 33 in 1976. Production of these continued
until 1978 when a fire at the factory destroyed the moulds. Tyler
hulls were sold to many yards for fit-out, so both standards
of fit-out and layout will vary.
