The new Tartan 3400 is both a tribute to the rich history of her predecessors and the embodiment of Tartan Yachts' dedication to advanced construction and equipment technologies.

When Tartan's designer, Tim Jackett, set out to create the latest in a long line of excellent 37-footers from Tartan, he thought past the “usual” approach to the performance/accommodation puzzle to arrive at a number of “wow, that's the way to go”-style solutions. The result is a fast and stable performance cruising yacht with an uncommonly welcoming and functional interior.

Walking down the dock, the 3700 CCR's rig stands out from the crowd.  A carbon fiber engineering showpiece, the lofty tapered rig sports an integrally molded, strong and lightweight masthead and crane.  Her double spreader rig is stronger, stiffer, and lighter than an aluminum mast.

Some cruising boats are at their best in the dealer's parking lot. Not the Tartan 4100, which is at her best either romping into a stiff sou'wester or anchored sedately in your favorite harbor.  In either situation you'll appreciate the mobility of the T-shaped cockpit, the clear visibility afforded from behind the 44-inch wheel, and the fact that the hefty Harken 53 self-tailing chrome primary winches are located within reach of the helm.

Traditional styling coupled with a hull and rig that are designed to deliver optimal cruising performance all in a very easy to sail yacht are the hallmarks of the Tartan 4300 design.  On the surface, the 4300 has all the design elements of classic American yacht design. 

Other builders offer raised salon and pilothouse cruisers, but the Tartan 4400 comes with two things you won't find elsewhere: Luxurious Tartan styling, and unmatched Tartan performance.

Following on the heels of the successful Tartan 4400, the 5100 expands on the possibilities offered by the raised saloon layout. Tartan's 5100 sports a very long sailing waterline and extremely clean hull form, promising fast passages and broader cruising range for the dedicated performance sailor.

Tartan is expanding on its award winning design and construction innovations in a new class of yacht.  The 5300 promises to provide great performance and ease of handling on an incredibly stable platform.  Her raised salon, center cockpit deck design offers excellent on deck visibility and security and provides the structure for her extensive interior arrangement plans. 

If fast is fun, then sailing a C&C 99 will be more fun than you've had in a long time. She's a 32-footer that is race-ready with family and friends and cruiseworthy in civilized fashion, with undeniably rakish styling and a daring cockpit and deck layout. This is one sporty speedster...we'll understand completely when you order your hull in fire-engine-red.

Be surprised. Very pleasantly surprised. So you think you need a 40-footer to be happy? You may think differently after you step aboard the 36-foot C&C 110, a two-cabin racer/cruiser that has the speed to start a buzz back at the yacht club and the below-deck amenities to please your family or cruising spouse. The racing speed comes from the finely-tuned C&C design recipe.

USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN BOATBUILDING allows the designer latitude to deliver raceboat performance while maintaining cruising comfort. The new 115 is the latest embodiment of C&C's dedication to this seemingly contradictory ideal and to leading the industry in all facets of boatbuilding technology.

Finally there is a racer/cruiser with speed to burn and two luxurious staterooms for great cruising. There's no secret to the C&C 121's speed. The masthead rig spreads an impressive 846 square feet of working sail, which works out to a zippy sail area-to-displacement ratio of 23.2.

Long and lean with great sail carrying ability, the C&C 131 promises exhilarating performance coupled with heart pounding good looks.  Her stability and impressive performance numbers are made possible by C&C's advanced construction technology.

Tim Jackett, Chief Operating Officer of Fairport Yachts and also its Chief Designer, has had a long tenure with Tartan.  Growing up nearby, he joined the Tartan design team in the 1970's, and has risen through the ranks becoming Chief Designer by the mid 1980's. 

We had the opportunity to chat with the man behind Tartan's lineage of the past three decades.

Jack began boating at the age of 12 with his first ski boat and sunfish sailboat. After spending four years living on a 42 foot ketch sailboat in New York Harbor, he set sail for Bermuda and the Caribbean. 8 months later and after passing through the Panama Canal he sailed into San Diego Bay in 1998. The decision to help others enjoy the boating lifestyle came easy and he began working for H&S Yacht Sales in Marina del Ray.

Three years later he opened and managed United Yacht Sales on Shelter Island in San Diego and in 2005 opened his own brokerage and yacht dealership, Southern California Yacht Sales on Harbor Island. He is very pleased to have such a hard working and successful sales staff. In the last 9 years over 500 boats have been bought or sold through his offices under his watchful attention. Jack has great knowledge and skill with both power yachts and sailboats and can help you find your perfect dream boat. Please contact him at 619-778-2998 cell or jack@scyachtsales.com.
