TARTAN 4700

About the TARTAN 4700

Designed by Tim Jackett and built by Tartan Marine, the Tartan 4700 is a modern fractional sloop with a production run starting in 2011. With a displacement of 28000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 30.63, it offers a stable, performance-oriented platform, though the exact total hulls built remains unspecified in available records.

Best for:

This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize performance and modern aesthetics, as evidenced by the high prevalence of Raymarine electronics and North sails in the fleet. Its fractional rig and 17.84 SA/D ratio appeal to sailors seeking responsive handling, while the 28000.0 lb displacement provides enough heft for comfortable offshore passages.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 1.86 and a D/L ratio of 202.82, the Tartan 4700 demonstrates solid offshore stability, though owners frequently report keel smile and sump cracking issues that must be addressed before extended bluewater use.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Nauticat 47 and the Beneteau 47, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-oriented hull forms from the same era. These models appeal to the same demographic seeking a blend of racing capability and cruising comfort, often featuring similar upgrades like bow thrusters and modern electronics.
