    Documented
    Fibreglass
    Teak trim outside
    Mahogany finish inside (oak (I think) floors)

    Etc, etc. (I probably left out a lot.)


    For those unfamiliar with the Tartan 27's, they are a "classic-style"
    sloop designed by S&S for Great Lakes (hence the centerboard) and
    East-Coast cruising.  They're extremely popular back East (where the
    27's practically built Tartan's reputation single-handed), but you
    don't see many out here.

    The style is a bit heavier and narrower than those being designed and
    built today, but it's also much sturdier and (at least) as fast.

    Overall, an extremely reliable (and pretty) boat.
    Currently located on Orcas Island in the San Juan's (Washington).
