History

Sparkman & Stephens designed the Tartan Ten for Tartan Marine in 1978 as an offshore one-design that could carry a full race crew comfortably. It became a fixture of Great Lakes racing, with the Chicago Mackinac fleet section among the largest one-design turnouts on the lake.

Sailing Characteristics

A big, powerful boat for its length, the T10 needs a full crew to sail well and rewards teams who can move weight and trim its large sail inventory together. It is quick in a breeze and remains competitive decades after the last hull left the factory.

Racing Context

Fleets are concentrated on the Great Lakes, with the North American Championship typically drawing 25 to 30 boats and a large one-design turnout at the Chicago Mackinac race each year.
