A lifelong sailor, Adam Morris spent his formative years sailing dinghies at Raritan Yacht Club in New Jersey, a foundation that paved the way for his current life as a liveaboard on SV Confianza, affectionately known as Connie. He and his co-captain, Angie, embrace the sea full-time, balancing passion for cruising with the demands of working remotely from their floating home. As the voice behind clevermariner.com, Adam chronicles their journey through the complexities of upgrading, maintaining, and outfitting Connie for a lifestyle that merges the freedom of the open sea with the necessities of full-time work and living.

Tartan 33 Used Boat Review

In 1978, Tartan brought out the Tartan Ten, a 33', fairly light, fractionally-rigged "offshore one design." The boat was a huge success: fast, easy to sail, and unencumbered by the design limitations of a rating rule. But the Tartan Ten had one big problem: limited accommodations with stooping headroom, an interior most kindly described as spartan.
