The Tartan 27-2 is a recreational keelboat as a cruiser built by Tartan Marine, in Painesville, Ohio, from 1976 until 1979, with 64 boats completed. Most were produced with a masthead sloop rig, and a small number were produced with a yawl rig.

It used the same hull mold as the Tartan 27 but with a higher sheer. The fiberglass hull has an angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel with a cutaway forefoot. It has a draft of 6.33 ft (1.93 m) with the centerboard extended and 3.17 ft (0.97 m) with it retracted. It has a calculated hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h).

It has four berths, with a "V"-berth and two settees in the main cabin. The L-shaped galley is starboard and is and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is on the port side. The head is aft of the V-berth on the port side.
