The Tartan 34-2 is an American sailboat, that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and first built in 1984.[1] [2] [3]

The Tartan 34-2 is a development of the 1979 Sparkman & Stephens-designed Tartan 33 R, with the stern extended and a different interior layout. It is unrelated to the 1968 Sparkman & Stephens-designed Tartan 34 C. Both the 34-2 and the earlier 34 C were marketed simply as the "Tartan 34", but to avoid confusion they are commonly referred to as the 34 C ("Classic") and the 34-2 to differentiate the designs.[1] [3] [4]

Production

The Tartan 34-2 was built by Tartan Marine in the United States between 1984 and 1989, with 110 examples completed.[1] [3] [5]

The Tartan 34-2 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder, a reverse transom and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 110000NaN0 and carries 44000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 6.25feet with the standard keel and 4.46feet with the optional shoal draft keel.[1] [3]

The design was factory-fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 270NaN0. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [3]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 177 with a high of 186 and low of 174. The shoal draft version has an average PHRF handicap of 141 with a high of 147 and low of 135. Both versions have a hull speed of 7.192NaN2.[3] [6] [7]
