Tartan 27 Yawl

Built during Tartan's early years as a respected American sailboat manufacturer, this 27-foot yawl represents classic coastal cruising design from an era when split rigs were more common among recreational sailors. The yawl configuration, with its distinctive mizzen mast aft of the rudder post, offers versatile sail handling options that made these boats particularly appealing to couples and small crews seeking manageable performance. Tartan's reputation for solid construction and attention to detail carried through to this model, delivering the kind of robust build quality that has kept many of these boats sailing decades after their launch. The yawl rig provides excellent balance and the ability to reduce sail area progressively in building conditions, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. While detailed specifications remain limited, the 27-foot length places this boat in the sweet spot for trailerable coastal cruising, offering enough interior space for comfortable short-term cruising while remaining manageable for a small crew. The traditional yawl configuration appeals to sailors who appreciate classic sailing characteristics and the tactical advantages of a split rig for both cruising and informal racing scenarios.
