Because we want to make an indelible impression!

Tattoo Yachts is a nod to our British and Scottish heritage.  The word ‘tattoo’ comes from the closing-time cry in the inns in the Low Countries during the 17th and 18th centuries – ‘Doe den tap toe’ (‘Turn off the taps’).  It evolved into a tradition of evening music (like Taps in the U.S.).

Tattoo 26 – Raising the Mast

Raising and lowering the mast on a Tattoo 26 is quick and easy. No muscle men required!

Tattoo 26 Under Power

The Tattoo 26 Power Sailer is more than just a sailboat- when the wind dies, or you just want to get somewhere quickly, drop the sails, start up the outboard, and go- fast!

Pull a wakeboard or water skier, get from point A to point B, or just zoom around. The choices are endless…

The Tattoo 22 trailer sailer will be available in 2014.

This is the next generation in trailerable sailboats.  Built of epoxy and core, it will be extremely light.  This makes it fast under sail and power, and easy to tow behind smaller vehicles.

Designed for up to 40 horsepower, the Tattoo 22 will do over 20 knots under power.  Its light displacement, combined with water ballast and a ballasted daggerboard will give it excellent speed under sail.

It sleeps five, includes a galley and enclosed head compartment, a pop-top with permanent side screens for headroom, and five opening hatches for excellent ventilation.
