The Tartan 30 stands as one of the most successful and enduring 30footers of the fiberglass era. Designed by the legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens (Design No. 2016), it was launched in 1971 as a versatile racercruiser that could bridge the gap between the entrylevel Tartan 27 and the larger Tartan 34. Produced by Tartan Marine in both Ohio and North Carolina until 1980, over 600 hulls were completed, making it a staple of the Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) and a preferred choice for coastal cruising families. The yacht's aesthetic is characterized by a graceful sheer, a conservative use of teak, and a reverse transom that was considered progressive for its time.
