Whether you intend to set sail with family or partake in a race, you will experience the unparalleled strength and control that has come to define the Tartan brand.

In constructing our hull laminates, we begin by using the most advanced materials available in the marine industry today. The combination of unidirectional E-glass, synthetic structural foam coring and epoxy modified vinylester resin produces the strongest and most impact resistant laminate in the marine industry. Our hulls are resin Infused under vacuum to ensure an optimal low-resin, high fiber content. This process consolidates the laminate into a void free matrix and produces the optimum strength to weight ratio in a composite laminate.

Few, if any other hulls in the industry can match the strength and impact resistance of a Tartan-built yacht. Just as the introduction of polyester fiberglass laminates replaced wood yacht construction in the early 1960’s, Tartan’s infused epoxy modified vinylester laminate now makes those earlier lamination techniques obsolete. We use epoxy modified vinylester resin in our laminating process. The other builders use polyester resins, which simply cannot achieve the strength, stiffness and osmotic resistance of our hulls. While our resin is more expensive than polyester resin, there is simply no other sensible choice in hull laminate construction.
