Congratulations on becoming an owner of a new Tartan yacht. Tartan Yachts is pleased to have you join our
"Clan" and wish you the best in your sailing endeavors.
This owner's manual has been prepared to provide you with detailed information for the use and maintenance of
your yacht. Enclosed you will find not only items pertaining to Tartan manufactured products, but it also
includes individual instruction manuals and warranty registration cards from suppliers of major equipment items
used in the construction of your vessel.
It is Tartan's policy to continually improve and modify our products. Therefore, you may find that your Tartan
has different details or equipment than shown in this manual. In each case, the new details or equipment have
been carefully evaluated to determine that it is consistent with the Tartan commitment to excellence.
Your Tartan is identified by a 12 character Hull Identification Number (HIN) located on a placard at the top
right corner of the transom in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard Regulations. Please identify your model and
hull number when contacting your dealer or Tartan Yachts for any reason.
•The first three letters of the HIN identify the builder with code HMD
•The next two identify the model (Example: 40)
•The next three numbers are the hull number of your yacht (Example: 145)
•The last four characters identify the month and year of manufacture (Example: E011 reads E as
month and year manufactured (May = E, 0 = 10), 11 as model year.
