Built with maximum flexibility in mind, AURORA enjoys the design characteristics of a fast offshore passagemaker, combined with the versatility of a coastal cruiser. She has a fast hull to make 200 mile days attainable, yet easily adapts to an island hopper with all the amenities afforded by her cruising interior. Designed to be fun to sail and fast enough to get you where you want to go in safety, style and comfort, AURORA is a true performance cruiser with a wide range of capability.
The shape of her hull depicts a vessel with authority and agility, easily propelled through the water regardless of the conditions. The balanced spade rudder and beavertail keel/centerboard provide the appropriate directional and lateral stability to maintain control under all circumstances with steering ability to provide positive and immediate response
Although slated to be a series built, production boat this Tartan 4600 was transformed into the dream of her first and only owner through customization and his and Tim Jacketts very intense attention to her final details. Through creative engineering many auxiliary riches where added to provide extra comfort and to accommodate the desires of her experienced owners.
Spectacular, Magnificent and Beautiful are just a few words that will come to mind when you first see AURORA; from her custom Awlgrip paint, custom deck design and fittings, her custom forward separate sail locker to her very custom interior appointments and arrangement, AURORA is a very special boat worth your serious consideration. You will not find a boat closer to a perfect TEN and we highly recommend her. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The area to port will seat four adults in comfort while the starboard settee offers seating for light meals, a drink, or stretching out with a good book. The dining table has two folding leaves. An alternate one piece offshore tabletop with fiddles is provided. The starboard table slides out to provide cocktail table versatility and stows to make a single berth. A switch at the companionway illuminates the courtesy lights. There are multiple seatback and below-cushion storage spaces for extended cruising. The smooth finish and subdued color Ultraleather cushions are designed to make the cabin welcoming and comfortable. The chart table has all the room you need to utilize the sophisticated electronics systems and still has space for paper charts and navigation tools. The galley is open and spacious. Refrigerator space is accessible through a top lid and a front door. The separate freezer compartment is deep and features a top lid. The microwave is powered by the 3000 watt inverter, generator, or shore power. Dry storage volumes are spacious. This galley is designed to be equally functional for underway and in port.

HULL & DECK:
The use of innovative materials and methods for construction fabricate strong, light and well-insulated hull and deck structures. Laminated from the highest grade NPG/Isothalic gel coat, vinylester and polyester resins and uni-directional E-glass; and locally reinforced with Kevlar on a balsa core, she yields a high strength to weight ratio. Extensive framing, structural floor timbers and full structurally bonded bulkheads further maintain her hull rigidity, while allowing for greater load carrying ability.
