Tartan 455: Made in Ohio, Built to Roam the Globe

  • By Herb McCormick
  • October 9, 2023

Tartan 455 drone shot

For me, for many reasons, certain boats and brands are synonymous with the waters or regions where they were created. The places are an essential component of the boats’ DNA. I’ll always associate a varnished mahogany runabout with upstate New York, or a cool little vintage catboat with Buzzards Bay and southern New England. Every classic Hinckley or Morris that I come across paints a vivid portrait of coastal Maine. Even yachts that sail or cruise far and wide all over the world still convey a sense of place. Recently, aboard a new Tartan 455, we pointed the bow into choppy Lake Erie, and I intuited an instant connection to the nearby northeast Ohio plant where the boat was spawned. It all felt like home. 

Other people see different things. After I uploaded a photo to social media of myself steering the 455, an old pal quickly hit me back with a comment, asking: “Tartan is still building boats?” 

The answer is an emphatic yes, and pretty darn good ones at that. The company has certainly had its ups and downs over the years, but it’s now navigating smoother waters for a couple of major reasons. First, it was recently acquired by Seattle Yachts, which made significant investments in the product and facilities, and appears firmly committed for the long haul. Second, longtime Tartan designer Tim Jackett is running operations, and the native Ohio homeboy is giving it his all.

Onboard the Tartan 455

Jackett says the 455 evolved from powerboats by Legacy, a company Tartan acquired in 2010. “The roots of it came after having some exposure to the Legacy brand and looking at how the deck and interior of that sedan style of powerboat works out so nicely,” he says. His first swing at the design in sailboat mode was a 37-foot motorsailer with a substantial trim tab that powered up at 14 knots. (It was never built.) When the owner of a Tartan 3700 approached him about commissioning a larger boat, Jackett returned to expand upon his earlier incarnation.

“But the concept was the same,” he says. “More of a sailing hull, but a nice, big, well-lit living space with inside steering, and then an aft cockpit that gave you the normal sailing experience of wind and water in your face when you wanted it.” 

Down a few steps into the deep cockpit, sliding doors open into the salon, which transitions into the forward living areas. The bulletproof laminate is a vacuum-bagged, infused sandwich that employs epoxy resin with a foam core in the hull construction and end-grain balsa in the deck. The lead keel supports a hefty ballast bulb and is available in deep- and shallow-draft configurations. 

Tartan 455 deckhouse

There are a couple of accommodations plans, including a two-stateroom version or the three-stateroom layout employed in the model we sailed, with guest staterooms to port and starboard, and an owner’s space forward with an attached head. The well-executed joiner work and furniture were cherry, though teak and maple are available (much of it sourced from northeast Ohio’s Amish mills). I’d say this is primarily a comfortable couple’s boat with space for occasional visits from family and friends.

Tartan 455 overhead

Aesthetically, I found the lines plan of the 455 to be handsome and pleasing, not a particularly easy task with a large deckhouse, which Jackett incorporated nicely into the profile. 

Wraparound windows allow light to pour in from all directions, as does the deckhouse’s overhead window. A split hydraulic backstay provides easy access to the drop-down transom and boarding platform between the twin wheels, which are stationed well outboard. (There’s a single, deep spade rudder.) Moving forward, an outboard ramp rises from the cockpit to the side decks, which makes for easy egress to the topside and foredeck. I believe this feature originated with the Jeanneau line, and I always thought it was a trend that would spill over to other builders (see the Moody 41DS). It’s just too simple and elegant a solution to an age-old design conundrum. There are grippy stainless-steel handrails just about everywhere. This Tartan is a big boat but an easy one to negotiate.

Tartan 455 cockpit

The carbon-fiber, double-spreader rig is fashioned in Tartan’s in-house autoclave, as are the rudder post and other reinforcements. The company’s Cruise Control Rig double-headsail sail plan (also known as a Solent setup) has become a fixture across the brand, with a Code Zero-style reacher on the forward stay and a smaller, self-tacking jib on the aft one. The powerful, full-battened mainsail is stashed in a Leisure Furl in-boom furler, and there’s a wide traveler atop the deckhouse that facilitates the end-boom mainsail sheeting. All the running rigging is led into the cockpit and handled by a combination of rope, clutches and Harken electric winches. The excellent sails come from Sobstad’s loft in nearby Rocky Hill. 

Over the years, I’ve sailed many a Jackett design, and the common denominator is they sail exceedingly well. We sailed the 455 on an early-fall afternoon after a cold front rolled through, offering up ideal 10- to 15-knot northwest breezes. The waves in the relatively shallow lake were closely spaced. As I took the wheel and came onto the wind under the smaller jib, it took me a while to stop pinching and get in the groove. But once I fell off a good 10 degrees, the boat and I settled in, and it muscled through the chop with aplomb.

The steering was tight and accurate. Jackett says he was still playing with the optimal rudder configuration, but it all felt fine to me. Topside, the Jefa wheels are cable-controlled, while the deckhouse steering station is on a hydraulic ram. You toggle between the two, depending on where you’re driving. We swapped out the self-tacker for the large reacher and bore off another 10 degrees, and the boat absolutely lit up, trucking along on a beam reach at bursts over 9 knots in complete and utter control. We even jibed the big sail through the exceedingly tight foretriangle, a maneuver I wouldn’t have thought possible. It was quite the sail.

Tartan 455 cabin

Fittingly, the first Tartan 455 is going to live on the Great Lakes, with Lake Huron’s North Channel a likely regular cruising ground. But I can envision this to be a terrific yacht for the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and ideal for high-latitude adventures. You might not be able to take the Ohio out of a Tartan, but you can take this Tartan just about anywhere.

Learn More About Tartan And Find Your Next Boat

Decades and decades has Tartan Sailboats has made history. The resourceful designers, engineers and boat builders of Tartan Yachts have continuously established new standards from performance to quality. Tartan Yachts has been able to do just that by staying true to themselves and the company, all while providing the owners with a Tartan Yacht that delivers both luxurious accommodations and a safe, well-mannered sailing performance, in all conditions of the sea. In 1960, Tartan emerged on the sailing yacht scene, with Charlie Britton at the helm. Charlie developed the company’s first model, the Tartan 27, thanks to a collaboration with the renowned design firm of Sparkman and Stephens and builder Douglass and McLeod of Grand River, Ohio. Jumping into the seventies, Tartan continued to expand the company and develop new models. During the eighties Tartan experiences a great deal of change. John Richards and Jim Briggs took over the reins from Charlie and close to the mid-eighties is when the new development of several Tartans started. The first complete in house design was the Tartan 31 and Tartan 372. Both these yachts were Cruising World Boat of Year winners in their early years. The late nineties is when Tartan acquired the C & C brand and began to development several new models. Although Tartan experiences a large deal of success with the C & C brand, launching nearly 400 Tartan build C & C’s over a 10 year production run, unfortunately the C & C brand was eventually licensed to another builder which allowed Tartan to focus on its core product, luxury cruisers with great performance. Today, with over 5,000 hulls launched, Tartan still continues to adhere to the foundation of great designs, exceptional craftsmanship and leading technology and let’s not forget about the uncommon comfort and performance.

Tartan 5300

With a length of 53 feet in total, the Tartan 5300 is an astonishing sailing yacht. The hull is made with a NPG isophthalic gelcoat and an infused BPA modified epoxy. Going inside of the Tartan 5300 you will notice the solid stock cherry trim throughout and the raised panel cherry passage doors. The locks and hardware are polished chrome, as well as the hardware on all the cabinets. The fabrics onboard are a selection of designer fabrics, from Ultra Leather to Ultra Suede. Looking what runs this grand sailing yacht are 106hp Volvo Diesel engine with a 125 gallon fuel tank capacity. As for the engine room, there is a ventilation system with two thermostatically controlled fans, making sure nothing ever heats up. 

Tartan Fantail Daysailer

 The Tartan Fantail Daysailer has efficient high performance and a “green” sailing experience, perfect for the beginner sailor. The Fantail is not a “retro design” or a white knuckles racing boat, but rather she is well-mannered, controllable sail plain with a contemporary performance design and classic lines making her sleek as no other. The hull is made with a NPG isophthalic gel coat for superior gloss retention and she also comes with a non-prorated 15 year hull structural and blister guarantee. Her deck is a balanced composite laminate and reinforced at high load areas with additional piles of bidirectional “E” glass reinforcement. 

Tartan Custom Sailing Yachts

Full customization and personalization for the experienced yachtsman. Did you know Tartan Yachts is also a full customization yacht designer and builder? Now you do! Over the years the company has found that Tartan and more recently Legacy owners are a bit different from many other boating enthusiasts. Most of them have years and years of experience out on the open sea, and majority of them owning several boats in their lifetime. When they go to consider a new boat, they generally have a well-developed idea of what it is that they are searching for based on what is most important to them during when they are sailing. Tartan and Legacy yachts are very personalized to meet each individuals needs but of course this customization is bound by the constraints of existing models and deck plans. For some yachtsman out there, a solution may be a complete custom build and if it is, TLC Yachts (Tartan, Legacy, and Custom) is the way to go!

Tartan 455 Sailboat Details

If there's one thing the team at Tartan Yachts always does, it's listen to their customer's feedback and do an excellent job at implementing changes to enhance the boating experience. With the new Tartan 455 Deckhouse Sloop, thousands of miles of sailing experience and suggestions went in to the design and execution. "At Tartan Yachts, we have been conceptualizing several different sizes of deckhouse sloops. The defining features are a large, twin-wheel working cockpit area, a crew/guest cockpit with easy access into a light and airy deck house, and a full inside steering station within the deckhouse," said Tartan designer Tim Jackett.

Whether under sail or power, the new Tartan 455 will offer you incredible, reliable performance. For wind and water in the face sailing, choose the aft cockpit, twin-wheel helm position with convenient sail controls led to large coaming mounted winches. The twin wheel arrangement also provides great centerline access to the large, hinge-down swim platform. The forward cockpit area is deep and well protected for crew and guests and offers an easy 6-inch step down into the deck house.

Inside the deckhouse the 360-degree expanse of windows provides exceptional light and visibility. Overhead light and ventilation is provided by two sliding deck hatches over the helm to starboard and navigation area to port. Aft to port is a large U-shaped settee with a drop-leaf table, and to starboard is a well-appointed galley with a drawer-style refrigeration unit and countertop drop- in freezer. At the forward end of the deckhouse, a full inside steering station complete with a Llebroc ultraleather captain’s chair, wheel, navigation instruments, and engine controls results in extremely comfortable inside piloting when the weather is too hot, too cold or just plain too nasty to want to hunker down in the aft cockpit. To port a Llebroc ultraleather, extra wide captain’s chair with a work station/navigation station provides additional comfortable underway seating.

The cabin interior living spaces are a short three steps down from the deckhouse. Available as a two- or three-cabin layout, both with two heads. The owner’s cabin is forward with a large island queen-sized berth and private head with full stall shower and plenty of storage in Tartan’s hallmark solid stock cabinetry. All cabins are well ventilated by a large array of opening portlights and deck hatches. Additional light is provided by fixed hull portlights. The Tartan 455 sports a large, carbon-fiber, double-spreader mast by sister company, AMP Spars, with a self-tacking jib as the standard configuration. By adding a furling masthead light-air reacher, which creates Tartan’s exclusive CCR sail plan, the 455 puts great sailing performance, at your fingertips. With sail controls led aft to both cockpit helm positions, the sail tweaker in all of us will be satisfied. The 455’s steering pedestals are a work of art. Crafted in carbon-fiber they are strong, elegant and light weight.

Coupled to an efficient rudder with a carbon-fiber rudderpost, steering is light yet positive. A number of keel configurations will meet each owner’s requirements for their sailing locale.

The deckhouse roof not only serves as the anchor point for the mainsheet keeping the sheet safely out of the cockpits, a large recessed panel in the deckhouse exterior surface can be fitted with either Lexan panels for a dramatic skylight or, for those looking for an aesthetically pleasing solar installation, the recesses are sized for flush-mounted solar panels. Wide side decks and plenty of handholds along the top of the deckhouse, the lifelines, deck rails and extended bow and stern rails make movement on deck safe and secure. The 455 can be fitted with Tartan’s classic teak toe rails or for those who prefer less maintenance, anodized aluminum toe rails are available.

Innovation is one of the keys to Tartan Yachts’ long-term success. Moving forward with our first deckhouse design Tartan will lead the way to more comfortable yet exhilarating performance cruising. The first of her kind, the Tartan 455 Deckhouse Sloop will provide her owners’ unparalleled comfort, top-level pace, and breathtaking views while cruising, whether under sail or power.
