The Tartan 4000 is a high-quality American performance cruiser designed by Tim Jackett and built by Tartan Yachts in Ohio from 2010. The 4000 carries Tartan's signature Cruise Control Rig — a carbon-fiber mast and pocket boom with double forestay — and features rich joinery, beefy deck hardware, and an epoxy hull layup that contribute to her premium positioning. Three keel options are offered: a 6'3" fin, a 5'0" beavertail, and a centerboard with 4'9"–8'9" range. Named 2012 Boat of the Year by Sailing World, the Tartan 4000 was discontinued by the late 2010s but remains a benchmark American cruiser-racer.
