The Tartan 3500 has a lovely interior configuration. All areas feel spacious in their own rights and work well together. She has a warm and inviting interior with teak bulkheads and cabinetry yet is still bright with plenty of overhead hatches and port lights for excellent ventilation and light. She has two private sleeping cabins. Starting forward is a full width V-berth with drawers under, hanging locker to port, cabinet to starboard, built-in step for easy access to the berth, overhead hatch and opening portlights. Moving aft you enter the Main salon with a settee to port and L-shaped dinettee to starboard. She has a fixed centerline table with drop leaves allowing dining from both sides of the salon. Shelves and cabinets are outboard on both sides for additional storage. Aft of the settee on port is the large enclosed head, here you will find the toilet, vanity with sink, a designated shower area with seat, and storage outboard and under the sink. Aft of the head compartment is the second stateroom. The aft stateroom has a large berth with built-in outboard headboard, hanging locker and opening portlight. Opposite the head to starboard is a large U-shaped, fully equipped galley and aft of the galley is the Navigation station. Centerline companionway leads to the cockpit as well as access to the engine compartment.

• The Tartan 3500 is now into its 11th year of production and after all this time it continues to be a popular choice for sailors looking for a performance oriented family cruiser. I, who have been a long time fan of Tartan boats, must admit I find the Tartan 3500 one of the more handsome of contemporarily-styled designs.
• Designing a boat that maximizes a boat’s interior volume and waterline length, without it looking like the box it came in, is not an easy task, but, in this case, has been accomplished by Tartan’s in-house design team led by Tim Jackett. The 350With a sail area to displacement ratio of 19.4 and displacement to length ratio of 188, it’s pretty clear that Tartan took seriously the "performance" half of "performance cruiser" with this design, and, in this regard, she does not disappoint. The Tartan 3500 is easily driven, responsive, well mannered and has had success in a number of PHRF fleets around the country. For best performance the deep draft model is preferred although not very practical for the Chesapeake Bay cruiser who likes to get off the beaten path.0’s overall length is 35’ 2-1/2", beam is 11’ 9", and displacement is 11,400 pounds. She is offered with a shoal draft keel drawing 4’ 10" or a deep draft drawing 6’ 6".
• The deck of the Tartan 3500 is well laid out and features a foredeck anchor locker, two-inch-high teak toe rails all around and good quality hardware. The T-shaped cockpit provides plenty of leg space, and seats are not so far apart that you can’t brace to leeward if necessary. There are foot cleats for the helmsman, and seatbacks are inclined for comfortable seating. At the transom there is a boarding ladder and molded swim step for easy entry and exit from the water.
• Auxiliary power is provided by Yanmar’s 27 hp 3GM diesel which is installed in an engine box below the companionway steps. Access to the engine for service is better than that found on most boats of this type. When the engine box is removed, the entire forward part of the engine is exposed, although access to the aft part of the engine requires removing quarter berth cushions and some panels, but again, it is better than most.
