I've sailed a Tartan 4100... they are pretty zippy. Definitely on
par
with one of the First series of similar size.

Tartan, definitely. Some of the older, bigger (40+) Beneteau First
series were pretty well built, but don't have systems up to modern
standards. The newer Tartans are molded by TPI and are well up to
snuff... there is a fair amount of stuff I don't like about them, but
then I'm spoiled...
