The Tartan 27-2 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser and first built in 1976.[1][2][3][4]

The Tartan 27-2 is a development of the Tartan 27 sloop and the Tartan 27 Yawl, with a raised sheer line, redesigned coach house and interior changes.[1][2][5][6][7][8][9]

Production

The boat was built by Tartan Marine, in Painesville, Ohio, from 1976 until 1979, with 64 boats completed.[1][2][10][11]

Design

The Tartan 27-2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional yawl rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel with a cutaway forefoot and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 7,400 lb (3,357 kg) and carries 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The design has a draft of 6.33 ft (1.93 m) with the centerboard extended and 3.17 ft (0.97 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer, when towed by a powerful enough vehicle to accommodate the boat's weight.[1][2]

The boat is optionally fitted with an inboard 30 hp (22 kW) Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering and has a hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h).[1][2][12]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin on either wise of a drop-down dinette table. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h).[2]

Operational history

In a review for Boats.com, Charles Doane wrote, "the revised accommodation plan on the 27-2 (as it was designated) is more conventional and liveable, with an aft galley opposite an icebox/nav desk, two long settees between a fold-down table, plus a larger athwartship head. The great drawback to the 27-2 ... is that--to my eye, at least--it is not nearly as attractive and shippy looking as the original. Also, raising the sheer without changing the hull mold required a much more vulnerable outward-facing deck joint."[12]
