One of the most beloved designs to come from the boards of Sparkman & Stephens, the Tartan 27 was in production from 1961 until 1980 with hundreds of boats (around 700) delivered to happy owners. The original price was around $10,000 and by the end of the production run the price had risen to near $25,000.

These boats are still readily available on the used boat market. They are a truly classic design and make a great family boat.
