Tartan 46 Tall Rig
Description
The Tartan 46 Sloop, designed by the legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens (design #2060), was produced by Tartan Marine from 1972 to 1974 in a limited run of just 8 hulls. This masthead sloop is a classic bluewater cruiser with racing roots, featuring a fin keel (or optional keel/centerboard) and skeg-hung rudder for protected, balanced performance—sleeping 6–7 in a spacious teak interior, and valued for its seaworthiness, speed, and enduring quality as a heavy-displacement offshore vessel.
