The Tartan 31, introduced in 1987, represents a pivotal era for Tartan Yachts as it transitioned from the traditional aesthetics of the Sparkman & Stephens era toward the performance-oriented, contemporary designs of Tim Jackett. Designed to provide a "big boat" feel within a manageable 31-foot footprint, the model was engineered to compete in the burgeoning cruiser-racer market of the late 1980s. It effectively replaced the venerable Tartan 30, offering significantly more interior volume and a more modern underwater profile. The boat was produced until approximately 1991, at which point it evolved into the Tartan 312, a sibling model that utilized the same hull but featured an updated deck mold and a revised interior layout.
