The Tartan 31, often referred to as the 31 Piper in specific regional markets or early marketing literature, represents a pivotal moment in the history of Tartan Yachts. Introduced in 1987, it was the first design penned entirely by Tim Jackett, who would go on to define the brand’s modern identity for decades. Stepping away from the Sparkman & Stephens era, the 31 was conceived as a "performance cruiser" that prioritized a more modern, efficient hull shape while maintaining the builder’s reputation for robust, handcrafted quality. Built until approximately 1992, the model bridged the gap between the classic lines of the Tartan 33 and the later, more voluminous Tartan 3100.
