  • Page 4 1.0 INTRODUCTION 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.

  • Page 5: Responsibility Of The Owner

    RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER: For maximum safety and enjoyment of your new Tartan, due regard must be given to the hazards of sailing and to proper maintenance procedures. The following is a partial list of items that are the responsibility of the owner for the safe operation of your yacht.

  • Page 6: Commissioning Procedure

    Proper Lifting: The careful placement of the lifting straps used to lift your Tartan is very important to avoid damaging the saildrive unit, and to assure that the center of gravity of the yacht is midway between the straps.
  • Page 7 Check castle nut on prop shaft for cotter pin. (Folding and feathering props require additional steps) Install zinc anodes. Interior: Charge and inspect batteries. (NOTE: Batteries are shipped from our plant with only partial charge.) Check hose clamps on ALL thru-hull hoses and tighten as required. Check that engine and head have been de-winterized and that all drain plugs are in place.
  • Page 8 After Launching: Check bilge for water. Check that engine exhaust is pumping water. Verify operation of forward, neutral and reverse before leaving the dock. To Be Done Prior to Turning Vessel Over to Owner: Clean entire deck, including removing excess bedding compound from around fittings, which may continue to ooze for a short time after shipment.
  • Page 9 If excess headstay sag is apparent adjust the headstay and/or backstay tension as required. Again, this manual is intended to help you to know your new Tartan Yacht. It is most important to familiarize yourself thoroughly with all aspects of operating and maintaining your yacht in a safe and efficient manner.

  • Page 21 Ballast The keel of your Tartan Yacht is of lead alloyed with antimony for added strength and cast to exacting tolerances. In addition to providing the yacht's stability, the foil shape of the keel produces hydrodynamic lift while sailing to weather, enhancing upwind performance.
  • Page 22 However, a practical and functional balance of rig complexity and aerodynamic efficiency has governed the design of the rig of the Tartan 4100. The spar section and carbon fiber laminate schedule have been engineered to provide a strong, stiff and safe mast while minimizing weight aloft.
  • Page 23 The lower shrouds may require adjustment to straighten the mast. Now check the rake. Rake is the fore and aft angle of the spar. The Tartan 4100 spar is designed to carry up to (approx.) 12 inches of rake. Rake effects the position of the center of effort of your sail plan and, consequently, the balance of the helm.
  • Page 24 that the rig tends to hold its tune for considerably long periods of time. After becoming used to the feel of the boat, you may wish to either increase or decrease the amount of weather helm. Any sailboat, when sailing up wind, should have a slight tendency to "round up" or head into the wind if the helm is let go. If you find it typically difficult to hold the boat off the wind, the boat is carrying too much weather helm.

  • Page 25: Fuel System

    5.0 FUEL SYSTEM Fuel Tank The aluminum fuel tank has been pre-tested and is static grounded. Fuelling Before opening the fuel inlet deck cap, be sure all open flames aboard the yacht are extinguished, no person is smoking and that the electrical main switch as well as all electrical circuits are turned to "off". Once the tank has been filled, close the inlet cap tightly and wash down any spills with fresh water.

  • Page 26: Engine And Transmission

    6.0 ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION Engine All necessary specifications and information concerning the engine installed aboard your yacht may be found in the engine Owner's Manual. Read this manual carefully so that it is thoroughly understood. The life and performance of the engine will depend upon the care it is given. Transmission The reduction gears and reverse gears are contained in the transmission casing attached to the after end of the engine.
  • Page 27 7.0 CONTROLS General Please refer to the engine Owner's Manual for starting procedure and engine panel functions. Starting and Operating the Engine Turn main battery switch to "on". Check that engine water intake valve is open. Check that the gear shift lever is in neutral. Follow specific instructions as offered in engine Owner's Manual.
  • Page 28 8.0 ACCESSORIES Installation of Thru Hull Fittings Note: To ensure correct positioning of the thru hull fitting, consult with your local TARTAN Dealer. Installations in Non-Cored Areas: A. Drill hole size to accommodate the thru hull fitting. B. A small backup plate is required for strength purposes. Marine plywood is suitable. A hole the same size as that in the hull should be drilled in the wood.
  • Page 29 The main switch panels are located to protect them as much as possible from the elements. The system in the Tartan 4100 is designed much like your home. All the main circuit breakers are designed to be left in the on position. The entire panel is shut of at the main battery switch should you decide to leave your boat for extended periods of time.
  • Page 30 VHF, SSB radios as well as various types of electronic navigation aids such GPS and Loran. Many of these items may be installed while the yacht is being built or later by the Tartan Dealer. 10.2...

  • Page 31: Safety Equipment

    The dinghy may also serve as a convenience in moving from yacht to yacht or from yacht to shore. Inflatable craft should be thoroughly checked every year to ensure safe and proper operation. Your Tartan Dealer can advise you where such inspections are offered. 11.8 Safety Flares Please consult Government regulations as they apply to your yacht and your area.
  • Page 32 11.9 Fog Signals and Radar Reflectors Both of these items are extremely important if sailing conditions deteriorate and visibility is restricted. Foghorns of the canister pressure type are good. Spare canisters should be carried aboard, and the "lung power" type makes a reliable back up. Sailboats may not be identified well on radar, therefore a radar reflector is a must.

  • Page 33: Maintenance

    For major damage, where a large area of the gelcoat has been removed, or where the damage extends into the glass lamination below the gelcoat, consult your Tartan Dealer or a qualified marine yard. Gelcoat surfaces below deck are cleaned with a good detergent and water, then rinsed with fresh water.
  • Page 34 Rinse afterward with mild soap and water. Please consult the hatch and portlight manufacturers for care and maintenance guidelines. 12.3 Wood 12.3.1 Teak Interior teak surfaces are maintained in the following manner: Remove dirt or cooking grease from teak surfaces before refinishing. This can be done by washing down the surface with mild soap and water.
  • Page 35 Cove Stripe The cove (just below the deck line) is colored vinyl tape. The cove stripe may be cleaned by using a mild detergent solution. The vinyl tape, if needing replacement, can be purchased through your Tartan Dealer. 12.6 Standing Rigging Standing rigging is defined as those fixed parts of the rigging which support the mast.
  • Page 36 ALUMINUM PLATES FIBERGLASSED INTO THE DECK. THERE ARE NO NUTS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DECK TO TIGHTEN. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR TARTAN DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION. 12.10 Engine The maintenance of your engine is covered in the engine Owner's Manual, which should be read carefully.
  • Page 37 In addition to the above, an inspection should be carried out every other year with the system under heavy load. While under load, look for parts bending, distorting or creaking. Watch for any indication of failing in the system when under full load for a period of time, and report any abnormalities to your Tartan dealer.

  • Page 38: Fitting Out

    13.0 FITTING OUT Note: Tartan Yachts must not be lifted in their shipping cradles by fork lifts without additional strengthening of the cradle. Most fork lifts tend to concentrate the maximum weight in a small area, therefore damage may occur. Recommended procedure requires that boats being lifted in shipping cradles have straps placed under fore and aft upright supports and be lifted by a crane.
  • Page 39 Consult your Tartan Dealer if you detect any potential problem. b) Install the spreaders and secure the rigging to the spreader ends. Be sure the halyards are not entangled with the spreaders.
  • Page 40 WOOD CHOCKS ARE NOT AN ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF CHOCKING THE MAST AT THE PARTNERS. USE ONLY SPARTITE TO CHOCK YOUR CARBON FIBER MAST AS WOOD OR OTHER CHOCKS CAN POINT LOAD AND DAMAGE THE MAST. Lower the crane cable sufficiently to allow the sling to be lowered and released, taking care that the sling and hook does not damage the steaming light on the forward side of the mast.
  • Page 41 Refer to the engine Owner's Manual. Remove the engine drain plugs. The engine Owner’s Manual or your Tartan Dealer may be consulted for the location and quantity of these plugs. After allowing drainage for five to ten minutes, replace the plugs and secure. Remove the engine water inlet hose from the seacock and place this hose end in a gallon container of automotive antifreeze.
  • Page 42 14.5 Head and Holding Tank Clean the bowl of the head and pump water through. Pump out the holding tank, and flush thoroughly. Add some holding tank disinfectant through the deck "waste" fitting. Add some antifreeze to the bowl of the head and pump it through the system.

  • Page 43: Limited Warranty

    The owner must submit a fully completed Warranty Registration Form through an authorized Tartan dealer within thirty (30) days of the purchase of the vessel. It is important that this form be submitted on a timely basis to Tartan Yachts. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.
  • Page 44 Any needed parts replacement will be made using new or remanufactured parts. The decision whether a part should be repaired or replaced will be made by Tartan Yachts. Remanufactured parts meet or exceed all factory standards for safety, quality and reliability.
  • Page 45 Any vessel which has been the subject of a lightning strike or grounding, unless the owner provides Tartan Yachts with a marine survey from a surveyor who is a member of the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors that demonstrates that the vessel is in good and seaworthy condition in the sole discretion of Tartan Yachts.
  • Page 46 Tartan Yachts shall have the right to inspect the boat prior to the approval of a warranty claim to determine the validity of the claim and the nature of the defect. Such inspection may involve the removal of a core sample of laminate.
  • Page 47 Tartan Yachts Commissioning Checklist T4100 OM rev2 Page 43 of 50...
  • Page 48 Inspecting the yacht on delivery for loss and damage in transit and the processing of all claims against the transport company. Should you notice any loss or damage you must notify your dealer within 30 days of arrival, as neither the carrier nor TARTAN can honor claims beyond 30 days.
  • Page 49 RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER: For maximum safety and enjoyment of your new TARTAN, due regard must be given to the hazards of sailing and to proper maintenance procedures. The following is a partial list of items that are the responsibility of the owner for the safe operation of your yacht. However, this must be considered only a partial list of the safety obligations of the owner to be used as a guideline.
  • Page 50 Proper Lifting: The careful placement of the lifting straps used to lift your TARTAN is very important to avoid damaging the propeller shaft, and to assure that the center of gravity of the yacht is midway between the straps. Additional caution should be exercised to avoid placing a strap in contact with a speedometer or depth finder thru-hull fitting.
  • Page 51 COMMISSIONING LIST: The following is a list of minimum commissioning duties to be performed by both the boat owner and the dealer. Additional operations may be required dependent on the model and equipment thereon. PRIOR TO LAUNCH: Exterior: Check hull, deck, shaft and keel, etc, for shipping damage and repair as needed. Prep bottom and apply bottom paint including centerboard and inside of truck (if applicable).
  • Page 52 Mast Stepping: Attach the backstay, leave the turnbuckle extended. Attach upper shrouds loosely. Chock mast in partners. Tighten the mast tie down rod(s) if necessary. Attach headstay. Use either main halyard or main boom topping lift to measure from side to side in vessel and tighten upper shrouds so masthead is centered in boat.
  • Page 53 To Be Done Prior to Turning Vessel Over to Owner: Clean entire deck, including removing excess bedding compound from around fittings which may continue to ooze for a short time after shipment. Check for deck leaks caused by shipping. NOTE: all boats are thoroughly checked prior to shipment, but fittings can loosen under shipment and handling.
