So, in other words, you settled for an unsafe, but fun to sail,
Beneteau instead?

I'd kill myself if a Tartan beat me in a race.



You may be thinking of the older full keel Tartans.

My experience of Tartans is limited to the versions that were displayed at
the Southampton Boat Show. Tartans are not very common over here.

My impression was that they were well constructed, but "sedate". I got the
impression that they were a safe, rather than a "fun" boat to sail.
