This Tartan 3700 mid-sized cruiser is easily single handed yet boasts a surprising amount of room down below for a couple looking to spend a few nights at anchor or a season cruising the coast. “Second Chance” has been used by her third owners for day sails around the Baltimore area of the Chesapeake Bay.
When Tartan's designer, Tim Jackett, set out to create the latest in a long line of excellent 37-footers from Tartan, he thought past the usual approach to the performance/accommodation puzzle to arrive at a number of "wow, that's the way to go" style solutions. The result is a fast and stable performance cruising yacht with an uncommonly welcoming and functional interior.
A key aspect of the Tartan 3700's reassuring stability is the generous 12-foot 8-inch beam that is carried well aft, but with an innovative twist at the stern where topside flare adds plenty of deck and cockpit space, while keeping the transom waterline on the trim side.
The tall, two-spreader masthead rig provides plenty of sail for rewarding performance in light winds, and each of the 3700's keel options is designed to make the boat stand up and keep driving in breezy conditions. The accommodation plan of the Tartan 3700 works equally well for feeding and watering a cruising crowd or for pampering a family or two cruising couples on an extended sailing vacation. The two staterooms are completely private, each with generous-size clothes drawers and hanging locker.
Accommodations
The main salon features incredible 6'4" headroom and the feeling of much more space, thanks to the generous beam. Traditional cherry wood joinery personifies the quality of craftmanship only Tartan can provide. The centerline drop-leaf table will comfortably seat five when raised or drop down for more room. To port, a long straight settee; to starboard a U-shaped dinette that can be converted to a double berth. Lots of lockers along the hull and additional hidden storage behind the seats. Well placed teak hand rails are on either side of the housetop. Lighting and ventilation are provided by eight overhead lights, 3 cabin fans, two reading lights, seven opening ports and two overhead hatches and 2 stainless steel dorades. Dedicated forward facing Nav station to port. New interior cushions and upholstery.
The forward cabin features a V-berth that is large enough for two adults to sleep comfortably in (the berth is 76" L x 25" x 86" and has a removable center insert). Several drawers, cabinets and a hanging locker to stow your belongings. This cabin features a vanity with sink to freshen up in privacy. Two overhead hatches for light and ventilation.
The aft cabin has a 70" x 78" athwartships berth, with storage beneath it. Generous storage with a hanging locker and drawers and shelves. Four opening ports provide great ventilation.
The head is extremely generous in size, especially considering this is a 37' boat! The separate shower area with a bi-fold door to separate dry from wet is usually top of the cruisers wish list. Manual Jabsco head, sink and mirror.
