1989 Tartan 40
Remember the beautiful sailing vessels of not so long ago when Sparkman&Stevens was equated to gorgeous! Remember what boats were supposed to look like with fine entry, graceful sheerline, and trim transom, with a bit of tumble home in the round midsection. The Tartan 40 was designed and built in the late 80s as more of a cruising boat than her predecessor the Tartan 41 S&S designed IOR race boat! To this day, S&S vessels are the quintessential definition of beautiful sailing yacht. The Tartan 40 S&S design built by the old Tartan bears the pedigree. The Tartan 40 has earned a deep respect from sailors as a racer cruiser and, in our eyes she makes a fabulous coastal cruiser that can keep sailing when others turn on the iron jenny. If you are looking for a pretty boat that will turn heads and likely show her transom to a few other cruisers, you should really check this out. This is a boat that is fun to sail! With her fin keel she is responsive even in lighter winds; and as the breeze strengthens you'll appreciate her even more. She's got the displacement weight of just under 18K pounds with a keel centerboard and about 7600 lbs of ballast you'll sail nicely over the Bahama banks and deep into pretty coves here on the Bay. Sloop rigged with a tallish mast, well 60' and ICW happy. She has inboard and outboard jib car tracks providing the tight sheeting angles you'll need to point mighty high; This pointing ability along with the dandy centerboard is a delight when you are trying to get someplace. It's no wonder the Tartan 40 makes a great cruiser because she offers so much through all conditions. As a live aboard home, she's warm and comfortable with a classic teak interior that feels like a real boat. The two stateroom layout gives you all the room you need for cruising gear and guests. When you load her up, she just gets all the more comfortable. Our "Passion" is a sweet boat that is well maintained and loved like few boats. Her owners have enjoyed her for over 20 years and now with grandkids in the making they are ready for other things.
