Tartan 37 Sparkman & Stephens Design ** NOW SOLD **

Tartan 37's are renowned worldwide for their excellent design, very good sailing ability, strong build quality and large accomodations. Exactly what you expect from the design board of the world famous Sparkman & Stephens. Almost 500 of these great bluewater cruising yachts were made.

The underbody features a skeg-hung rudder, cutaway forefoot and long fin keel and a centerboard of 1.27m up, 2.36m down. The Tartan 37 is capable of impressive, comfortable 24-hour runs. As with almost any S&S design, performance sailing to weather is excellent. Offwind performance ranks up there with the best of them and plenty of rudder contributes to great control in full-sail reaching or running situations.

The interior is traditional but larger than you would expect with 3.58m of beam. She has high-quality joinery work and excellent ventilation. The v-berth is large and comfortable. The head forward with sink. The starboard, main-cabin settee works well as a sea berth, and the port settee converts to a double. The double quarterberth aft is a perk you don't usually find in a boat this size. A great galley is to starboard and a nav station to port, just at the base of the companionway.

This Tartan 37 has been very well maintained and looked after by all including the current owners and is set up for coastal and offshore cruising. She was sailed Sydney to Cairns in 2014 and has cruised between Townsville, Cape York and the Coral Sea islands since then. Her keel-centreboard and very shallow draft makes her excellent for cruising in amongst coral reef and coastal habitats.
