Manufacturer Bio

Tartan emerged on the auxiliary sailing yacht scene in 1960, with Charlie Britton at the helm. As a result of a collaboration with Olin Stephens, Tartan developed the companies first model, the Tartan 27. The Tartan 27 constituted a departure from the existing norms of wooden construction to begin a new generation of quality-crafted fiberglass hulls. Establishing themselves at the forefront of the boat building world, Tartan charged forward with new designs, such as the 34 and the "Blackwatch" 37 and opened a second plant in Hamlet, North Carolina.
