History
The Tartan II was built in 1974 by a second generation boat builder, Seth Persson. Seth was a well-known builder of wooden racing sailboats. When the Tartan II was built (then the Captain Bob II) Seth had never built a commercial boat before. Seth's attention to detail and meticulous nature resulted in a sturdy, dependable wooden boat that will be sailing for generations to come. Once purchased, Beth and Mike Stepski worked diligently to restore the boat. Although in incredible shape, months of hard work and determination were needed to make the boat sail ready. Every day and countless nights was spent working on the boat with the help of Mike's kids (ages 6-11) and countless friends and family. In the summer of 2014, the Tartan II was able to set sail in Niantic Bay, bringing the Captain's decades of fishing experience to all those onboard.
