The Tartan Fantail 26 was introduced in 2011 as a bold return to the under30foot market for Tartan Yachts, a builder that had spent the preceding decades focusing on larger, luxury performance cruisers. Designed by Tartan’s longtime chief designer, Tim Jackett, the Fantail 26 blends classic, traditional aesthetics above the waterline with highly progressive, modern underwater geometry and composite construction below. With its distinct nearly plumb bow, sweet sheerline, and graceful overhanging counter transom—from which the model derives its name—the boat evokes the golden era of daysailing. However, beneath this classic veneer, Tartan integrated highend building techniques and standard electric propulsion, positioning the Fantail 26 as an ecoconscious, luxury daysailer and light weekender that stands apart from the typical utilitarian daysailers of its class.
