2007/2024 Tartan 4400 | Reborn by Tartan | Custom CCR Rig | Carbon Mast

This is not a standard 2007 Tartan 4400. Hull #20 of 29 was sent back to Tartan Yachts and comprehensively reborn under the direction of designer Tim Jackett. The result is a uniquely configured Tartan 4400 with a custom CCR sail plan, 68-foot carbon fiber mast, modern Garmin electronics, Victron/Battle Born/Balmar lithium electrical system, keel-cooled refrigeration, HVAC, updated interior, canvas, serious ground tackle, and extensive offshore cruising equipment.

She retains the comfort, craftsmanship, and design pedigree that made the Tartan 4400 such a respected performance cruiser, but she has been elevated with a modern sail plan and systems package that set her apart from any other 4400 on the market.

This is best understood as a reborn Tartan 4400, not simply an older boat with updates.

Why This Tartan 4400 Is Different

Reborn by Tartan: Redesigned, rebuilt, and refit by Tartan Yachts with Tim Jackett directly involved.
Custom CCR sail plan: Cruise Control Rig configuration not found on any other Tartan 4400.
Carbon fiber mast: 68-foot AMP/Tartan carbon fiber mast, custom balanced and optimized for the CCR rig.
Modern short-handed sail handling: Self-tacking jib, 155% furling reacher, fully battened main with in-boom furling, electric cockpit winches, and all sail control lines led to the cockpit.
Modern cruising power system: Battle Born lithium house bank, Victron inverter/charger, Victron monitoring, Balmar high-output alternator, and solar.
Modern Garmin electronics: Dual Garmin 8612 XSV chartplotters, Garmin radar, AIS, autopilot, sonar, wind, speed, depth, VHF, and Fusion audio.
Cruising-ready systems: Watermaker, washer/dryer, generator, Starlink, solar, davits, upgraded refrigeration, reverse-flow HVAC, dinghy, outboard, and trailer.
Fully documented refit: Invoices for Tartan’s work and subsequent upgrades, and completion survey by Tim Jackett.

About the Custom CCR Sail Plan

CCR stands for Cruise Control Rig, Tartan’s performance-cruising sail plan concept. It is designed to make the boat easier to sail short-handed while improving balance, visibility, and performance. Instead of relying on a large overlapping genoa, this custom CCR arrangement uses a taller carbon mast, larger mainsail, self-tacking blade jib, and furling 155% reacher.

For cruising couples, the advantage is simple: easier sail handling in normal conditions, better control from the cockpit, and the ability to add serious reaching power when conditions are right.

This custom CCR sail plan was designed by Tim Jackett and is not found on any other Tartan 4400. The sail area of the mainsail and self-tacking jib alone equals the sail area of the original 4400 sail plan with full main and full genoa.

There are ordinary updated boats, and then there are boats that have been fundamentally rethought. This Tartan 4400 falls into the second category.

She began as one of Tartan’s best performance cruising designs and has now been reborn with a custom Tim Jackett-designed CCR sail plan, carbon mast, modern sail handling, Garmin electronics, Victron/Battle Born/Balmar lithium power, keel-cooled refrigeration, updated HVAC, canvas, refreshed interior, upgraded generator access, and extensive offshore-oriented cruising equipment.

The appeal here is not simply that many items are recent. The appeal is that the boat has been transformed into a more modern, more capable, easier-to-handle Tartan 4400 while preserving the strength, comfort, and craftsmanship that made the model desirable in the first place.

Importantly, these systems have not simply been installed and left untested. Following the refit, the owner used the boat extensively, putting approximately 2,000 miles on the vessel and proving the major systems in real-world cruising conditions.

For a buyer who understands quality and wants a serious cruising boat without spending years managing a refit, this is a rare opportunity.

This boat is best suited for a buyer who understands high-quality yacht construction, values short-handed sailing, and wants a serious cruising platform that has already received the kind of refit most owners only talk about doing. She should appeal to buyers considering high-quality performance cruisers such as Sabre, Hylas, Passport, Outbound, and similar offshore-capable yachts.

A standard 2007 Tartan 4400 should be evaluated as a used 2007 cruising boat. This boat should be evaluated differently. She is a Tartan 4400 platform that was substantially rebuilt, redesigned, and modernized by Tartan, with a custom rig and systems package that would be difficult and expensive to duplicate today.

Refit History and Documentation

The vessel was rebuilt after sustaining damage while stored on land during Hurricane Dorian in 2019. The hull’s vinylester inner skin was not breached and no seawater entered the boat. In September 2020, she was sent to Tartan for redesign, rebuild, and refit, with completion in spring 2024. Documentation includes the initial pre-purchase survey by Tim Jackett, invoices for Tartan’s work and subsequent upgrades, and a completion survey by Tim Jackett, all available for review by qualified buyers.
