The Tartan 245 is a modern 24-foot daysailer designed to bridge the gap between high-performance club racers and stable training vessels. Launched around 2019 and designed by Tim Jackett, the 245 was born from a collaboration with veteran sailing instructor Cai Svendsen to create a boat that could accommodate four students and an instructor while remaining rewarding for private owners. It is built with a focus on ease of handling and portability, featuring a light 2,750-pound displacement that allows for trailering behind a mid-sized SUV. The design incorporates a "Caraluna 245" variant, which shares the same hull and specifications, often marketed for its specific versatility in sailing school environments and adaptive programs.
