1998 Tartan 3800

San Pedro, California

$127,000

The Tartan 3800 is a sensible cruising boat built by a company with an excellent tradition of building solid, honest cruising boats that pack enough performance for good passage making and even racing at the club level. Inside and out, this boat has all the features a good cruising boat should have.

This design, simply, does the important things well. It is comfortable to work or relax aboard, the construction is conservative, and the boat’s profile will please the eye as much in 10 years as it does today. The list of standard features is long. There are great options added by the current owner including a Leisure furl mainsail, Bow sprint for asymetrical spinnakers, Custom mattress, LED lighting, Electric winch, and more.

Accommodations

The accommodations feature one double stateroom forward and one aft. While there is only one head, an extra washbasin in the forward stateroom provides an added convenience. The head layout is thoughtful, with a separate shower stall and wet locker. Hanging lockers are cedar lined, and fitted with old-fashioned “finger through a hole” latches. The galley’s general layout is excellent with the sink close to centerline for good draining on either tack. The icebox, large and deep, includes both top and front openings.

Ventilation includes four good Dorade boxes, four Lewmar hatches and 11 stainless opening portlights.

Construction

The hull is hand-laminated using unidirectional E glass, with balsa core in the topsides and a solid laminate below the waterline. The deck is fiberglass with balsa core as well, substituted where necessary by solid laminate with backing plates for the bolting of all deck hardware. The Tartan 3800 has ABS-approved plans and an optional ABS certificate is available.

The deck is sealed to an inward flange of the hull with 3M 5200 polyurethane adhesive. Screws holding the wood toe rail tap into a 6061 T-6 aluminum strip which itself is glassed into the hull flange. Tartan presented a very good cross-sectional segment of the hull to show this. Both hull and deck had interior liners. Removable cover panels in the overhead gave access to specific deck-gear bolts; in addition, the entire overhead could be taken down, if necessary.
