Stu, I have sailed on a T-34 but not a 33. The 37 is similar to the 34 but is more stiff she likes to settle in around 20 degrees of heal and stay there unless you're overpowered. She'll point very nicely, not as high as a racing fin, but she'll tack thru 80-85 degrees with sails in good condition and a decent breeze and the board down. She doesn't like real light winds, but she'll move O.K. Her best winds are 10 to 15 knots, above 20, you'll need to throw in a reef and she'll balance right out. Like many of these S&S designs of the seventies, you'll get most of your power from your genoa and your main is for balancing the helm.
