Tartan 46
9 / 40 - score 59%
The Tartan 46 is a 46.67ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Tartan Marine between 1972 and 1974.
8 units have been built.
The Tartan 46 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
