Tillotson-Pearson Manta Clipper

The Tillotson-Pearson Manta Clipper 34 is unique and innovative performance-oriented sailing yacht designed by Gary Hoyt. The 34-foot design features a forward cockpit and an easily handled, powerful sail plan that sets it apart from conventional layouts.

Built by Tillotson-Pearson in New England, the Manta Clipper is known for solid construction, a stiff ride, and strong sailing performance. The innovative rig and deck layout favor simplicity, safety, and efficient short-handed sailing.

Below deck, the interior is practical and functional, with comfortable accommodations for cruising, good storage, and ventilation. The layout supports weekend use or extended coastal cruising while retaining a performance-focused feel.
