Yes, we have some very exciting things happening:

1. We will introduce a new Tartan 36 at the Annapolis Boat Show next fall. The 36 will be a Tim Jackett designed yacht. We will have specs and drawings posted on our site very soon.
2. We have formally introduced our Legacy by Tartan Power power line and are producing Hulls  32-51, 32-52 and 32-53 this Spring. We are also building a Legacy by Tartan 42 and will introduce the new Legacy by Tartan 36 this year.
3. We have also recently expanded our Carbon Fiber Mast production and are building Masts for the first time for owners of any Sailboat brand who wish to have a mast that is lighter and stronger than their current aluminum mast. These masts are being produced by our wholly-owned Aspire Spars and Components company.
4. We have had a lot of recent success in Southern California with our new Tartan 101 ( 5 new owners and several racing victories!!); however we haven't had any new traditional Tartan models purchased since 2012.
5. We are now one of the very few boat builders in the world laminating all of our glass hulls now in Clear Gel-Coat. The confidence we have in our lamination process allows for full transparency on the part of a discerning, new yacht buyer.
6. In case anyone is interested, our best deals with respect to new purchases continue to be where we are able to provide maximum trade value on any existing Tartan in return for a new Tartan 43 purchase.This continues to be the case because of our ability to quickly sell the Tartan trade combined with the building efficiencies associated with the 43.

A sailor for over 30 years, there was no better place for this client to fall than in Kip’s arms, or should we say, sealegs. Unmatched performance, unprecedented technology and unlimited luxuries intertwine to give us Tartan Yachts. Continuously establishing new standards of performance, quality and craftsmanship, the yachts fall in a class of their own. Throughout the 50-years at sea, Tartan has made their name building world class, heirloom quality yachts. The discriminating sailor swoons for the cherry wood doors, revolutionary hull and industry-leading innovations. Handcrafted, American-made and prestigious. Tartan Yachts are a real thing of beauty.

The Tartan 4700 is the result of Tartan's ability to highly personalize its product range. At the fall 2010 boat shows, several clients were interested in a boat that would fill the gap between the Tartan 4400 and the Tartan 5300. The 4700 is a development of the highly successful raised salon Tartan 4400.

SAIL Magazine released an article by Adam Court on the Tartan 4000. The written review also includes a video demonstrating the brilliant design and performance of the 4000.  Click the excerpt of the article, below, to view the full article from SAIL.

“The Tartan 4000 is a performance cruiser in the truest and best sense of the word—a boat that does well on all points of sail and takes good care of its crew, whether underway or at anchor.”
