The Tartan 37 is one of the most successful designs ever built by Tartan Marine. Timeless lines, excellent performance, and a great layout highlight this Sparkman Stevens design.
If you are planning to cruise this winter, this is the vessel for you! She can take you virtually anywhere -- her quality construction allows offshore capability, with the added advantage of shallow water access from the shoal draft centerboard. She is well equipped and is in "sail away" condition. Starting forward is a large V berth with doors opening into the head and main salon. Next aft to port is the head, and across to starboard is hanging locker and storage. The Main Salon has settees port and starboard with a bulkhead mounted dining table. There are storage shelves and lockers to port and pilot berth to starboard. The galley is to starboard at the base of the companionway, with a two burner stove, oven, double sink, a large double ice box, and generous storage and counter space; across to port is the forward facing nav station followed by the large quarterberth. Main salon fabric is in excellent condition and all interior teak is bright and clean. The sole is beautiful teak & holly, and there's plenty of standing head room.
