Used Tartan 27 Yawl Sailboats for Sale

The Tartan 27 Yawl is a classic American trailerable sailboat, renowned for its heritage as a capable cruiser and, in its sloop variant, a competitive racer. Designed by the highly respected naval architecture firm Sparkman & Stephens, this 27-foot monohull became an important vessel for Douglass & McLeod, the original builder, and later for Tartan Marine. While the vast majority of Tartan 27s were sloops, the yawl rig, with its additional mizzen sail, offered a different sailing experience, appealing to those seeking enhanced control and easier handling in varying conditions. Only a small fraction of the total 712 Tartan 27s built—approximately 25—were rigged as yawls, making this particular model a distinctive find within the lineage. [2,
