An owner was nice enough to send us this great shot of his Tartan 40. So I thought we would say a few words about the design.
Designed in 1984 the Tartan 40 was the last of a long line of S&S designed Tartans over a 25 year relationship between designer and builder. From this point on all Tartan design was done in house by the builder.
The easiest way to describe this boat is as a cruiser/racer that leans more to the racer side. There is nothing radical about her, but she is fairly powered up. Its a nice boat and well loved by many owners.
Here are the plans.
