Tartan 4300 Wins Boat of the Year 2008

Story lead from Cruising World Magazine by Mark Pillsbury

Each time the BOTY judges begin their dockside inspection of a boat, the builder is asked to outline its design brief. In the case of the Tartan 4300, designer Tim Jackett hit the nail on the head when he said that the company's latest hull is well suited to take a couple on an extended coastal cruise and, on occasion, a sail well offshore.

In fact, by the time our test sail on the 4300 came to an end a couple of days later, our judges concluded that the builder had matched the design brief so perfectly that they had no choice but to name the 4300 as the Best Midsize Luxury Cruiser as well as the 2008 Domestic Boat of the Year.
