1978 Tartan 37' 11.28 m - Mistress


$ 38,000 USD

"Mistress" has been in the same family since new. Father and daughter have loved and maintained her well. She is nicely equipped and does not show her age. The Tartan 37 was a timeless design that is still enjoyed today. Great sailing characteristics, shoal draft, and a comfortable interior.

About

Mistress

Mistress has been loved by the same family her whole life. First, the father and now his daughter have maintained and cared for her. She has seen light use for the last 20 years and spent the first 30 years of her life in freshwater. She has some nice additions ie. Adler Barbour refrigeration, warm teak interior, Roller furling head sail just to name a few.


The Tartan 37 is a moderately high-performance, shoal-draft cruiser built between 1967 and 1988 by Tartan Marine. Over the years, Tartan specialized in the production of well-finished boats geared toward the upper-income cruising sailor. Most of these early boats were Sparkman & Stephens (S&S) designs, and many were keel-centerboarders. With their S&S designs and high-quality joinerwork, Tartans were regarded as a more affordable alternative to lines of boats such as the expensive Nautor Swans. By 1987, almost 500 Tartan 37s had been built, and the demand for the boat has continued to be strong. The longevity of the 37 in production is a remarkable testament to the inherent quality of both its design and its construction.


The Tartan 37 has attractive proportions. It has a gentle sheer and a straight-raked stem profile, with moderate overhangs at both bow and stem. Underwater, the boat has a fairly long, low-aspect-ratio fin keel, and a high-aspect rudder faired into the hull with a substantial skeg. The freeboard is moderate. The boat is balanced and pleasant in appearance. It is not a character boat, but is attractive, fairly racy, and functional, a typical Sparkman & Stephens design of this era.


Owners report that the Tartan 37 is a well-mannered boat under sail. The boat will not perform at the grand prix level, but it is no laggard, either. Several Tartan 37s have participated in the Marion/Newport-Bermuda race and regularly performed respectably. With good sails, the performance of the Tartan 37 will not be disappointing on any point of sail.
