The Tartan 34-2 is a development of the 1979 Sparkman & Stephens-designed Tartan 33 R, with the stern extended and a different interior layout. It is unrelated to the 1968 Sparkman & Stephens-designed Tartan 34 C. Both the 34-2 and the earlier 34 C were marketed simply as the "Tartan 34", but to avoid confusion they are commonly referred to as the 34 C ("Classic") and the 34-2 to differentiate the designs.{{cite web|url =https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/tartan-34-c|title = Tartan 34 C |accessdate = 17 January 2018|last= Browning| first = Randy |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2017 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20220323180301/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/tartan-34-c|archive-date= 23 March 2022|url-status= live}}
