Tartan’s designer, Tim Jackett, created a gorgeous vessel that solves the performance/accommodation puzzle. The result is a fast and stable performance cruising yacht with an uncommonly welcoming and functional interior. A key aspect of the Tartan 3700’s reassuring stability is the generous 12-foot 8-inch beam that is carried well aft, but with an innovative twist at the stern where topside flare adds plenty of deck and cockpit space, while keeping the transom waterline on the trim side. The tall, two-spreader masthead rig provides plenty of sail for rewarding performance in light winds.
The accommodation plan of the Tartan 3700 works equally well for a cruising crowd or for pampering a family or two on an extended sailing vacation. The two staterooms are completely private, each with generous-size clothes drawers and hanging lockers.Â
Highlights include:
Mast is currently off the vessel due to facility storage.
