The Tufglas 33, primarily recognized by the sailing community as the Seacracker 33, represents a pivotal era in British boatbuilding when the Tyler Boat Co. Ltd. was at its zenith. Designed by the legendary Dutch naval architect E.G. Van de Stadt, this 33foot sloop was born from a requirement for a fast, seaworthy cruiserracer that could exploit the thennew capabilities of glassreinforced plastic (GRP). While Tyler molded the hulls under the "Tufglas" brand—a name they trademarked to signify their highstandard lamination process—the boats were finished by various yards or sold as kits to experienced amateur builders. Consequently, while the hull integrity remains a constant, the final execution of the Tufglas 33 varies more than typical production yachts of the same era.
