Tartan 41
Lately I find myself with a taste for a 70's vintage Tartan 41.
The wraparound plastic coaming doesn't really light my fire, but the rest of the boat seems pretty sweet.
Anybody love 'em or hate 'em?

Really nice boats - I started a thread on them on sailing Anarchy which just got brought to the top a few days ago.
I suppose I should have told a few people on here that I had a lead on one with a blown motor for 15k. It had done the Newport to Bermuda a couple of years earlier so I couldn't have been in terrible condition. I believe in the end he ended up donating it.
Anyway, good luck - they are a cool boat. There is one on the lake that is in very good shape, and she always makes me drool a bit.

I did not inspect it closely but it seemed to be in good shape from what I saw.

There is one here in Norwalk CT that has been sitting in boat yard for at least 5 years. I used to know the owner. (became an extreme alchoholic and disappeared). I assume it's now owned by the yard but I'm not sure. It's bright red. One of the shallower draft models.

Strange how things work. Last week a stunning Rhodes 41 - wood - docked at the Club for two days, outbound from Toronto.
Tonight, a T-44 was tied off at the guest dock. Strong-bilged and wide at the hip, there was some discussion among the old boat aficionados as to whether she was actually beautiful, or merely striking.
And, sorry Rachel, I didn't get pictures of either boat . . .
