Pros cons ? Looking for a more comfortable boat for fun racing. How are they holding up? I did search. Flame away.

Why bother when there are so many significantly better designers than Tim Jackett.Pros cons ? Looking for a more comfortable boat for fun racing. How are they holding up? I did search. Flame away.

Serious question: what's wrong with you? Why do you magnify a simple difference of opinion into a death cage match with "two men in one man out" ?Like maybe you I supose?
Sorry, you’re right, that was “internet snarky” and uncalled for. I apologize. But the question re Tim Jackett stands. Which designers do you think are “significantly “ better, and what, in your opinion, makes a designer better or worse?Serious question: what's wrong with you?

I can't help you if you can not see potential problems when an egotistic owner of a boat building company appoints himself as the chief designer.Sorry, you’re right, that was “internet snarky” and uncalled for.

Like Frank Butler? Or Rod Johnstone?I can't help you if you can not see potential problems when an egotistic owner of a boat building company appoints himself as the chief designer.
That was most likely "Primal Scream" a very successful 115, which has won KWRW, CRW and other major regattas. They were a pretty strong program 10 years ago. Are they still around? I have a friend who bought a 115 a couple years and could use their tuning numbers.Like maybe you I supose? Tim has designed for C&C/Tartan for many, many years. Rob Ball obviously thought him qualified...Last time I raced at Key West, the C&C 115 in our class beat both of the Beneteau 40.7s and all of the J/109s. Does that make Bruce Farr and Rod Johnstone less better than Tim Jackett?
Serious question: What do you think makes someone more or less "better" as a designer of sailboats?
So...what your saying is you either can't or won't actually answer my question? OBTW, the owner of Tartan is Marine Manufacturing Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seattle Yachts International. They bought Tartan/Legacy in April of 2020. I believe prior to that the owner was Steve Malbasa who bought the company in 2010...I can't help you if you can not see potential problems when an egotistic owner of a boat building company appoints himself as the chief designer.
That was indeed Primal Scream @ KWRW 2008.That was most likely "Primal Scream" a very successful 115, which has won KWRW, CRW and other major regattas. They were a pretty strong program 10 years ago.

I looked at a 115 but the "newness" and unknown longevity of epoxy type hulls scared me away. How, other than your example, have they generally held up? (if you know)Some of the C&C's had delamination problems in the epoxy hull. Its fairly well documented on the internet. We had a 99 at our club have a structural delamination failure and the insurance company totaled it. I believe it was aft of the keel The guy only owned it for a year, but never had a survey done before he bought it.
