  1. Tartan 30: An Affordable Classic

    Under PHRF the Tartan 30 typically has a base rating of 170 to 180, rating faster in areas with heavier winds. In fact, in some quarters the Tartan 30 is regarded as the archetypal PHRF competitor. Her narrow inboard shroud base helps keep her competitive upwind against newer boats, and her directional stability off the wind is better.

    For about 23 years we sailed about in Moreton Bay in Queensland in a 23 ft Roberts sloop.She was fantastic with a shoal draft keel of about 18" and could get us into wonderful little hideaway spots.
