R'Liberty is a beautiful example of the Tartan 3700 from the designer Tim Jackett. Tartan is known for the quality of the build process, sailing prowess, and its safety at sea.
First built in 2000 as an upgrade from the previous generator 3800. She features more interior volume while carrying her 12' 6" beam farther aft for extra stability inbluewater conditions.
During the production run, 160 of these boats were built to high standards.
She was a Great Lakes boat for much of her life, then sailed the East Coast and down to Florida and the Bahamas. The 4'10" draft comes in very handy in these shallower waters!
Under the present ownership, there have been numerous upgrades, which include:
- New standing rigging (2024)
- New Mack sails (2024)
- New Awlgrip paint job (2026)
- New bottom paint (2026)

R'Liberty has a very well-designed interior that starts forward with a V-berth. There are drawers for storage, 2 on each side of the insert. To port is a hanging locker, and to starboard is a sink, vanity with storage. There is also an opening cut out in the bulkhead that connects to the main salon. Above, there are two hatches, perfect for light and ventilation.
The main salon is roomy with a large settee to starboard with an insert when used as a bunk. Across is another comfortable settee. There is a double-leaf table and storage lockers, outboard on both the port and starboard sides. There is a hatch for ventilation as well as 12v fans. There is also a Smart flatscreen TV mounted near the chart table.
The nav station is to port behind the settee, features a sit-down opening chart table arrangement with a VHF radio. There is also the electrical panel with both 12v and 110v switches and a battery selector.
Across to starboard is the galley, nicely laid out for cooking at sea or at anchor with double stainless sinks, refrigeration and plenty of storage. Cooking is done on a 3-burner Force Ten propane stove with oven.
Aft of the galley is the generous aft cabin with king sized bed. There is a hanging locker for storage, lights, and opening ports.
After the chart area is the head with a marine toilet, sink, and vanity. There are lockers for storage and a large sit-down shower area.
