1988 Tartan 40 SD
The Tartan 40SD, 'Nereid' is a 'sailing machine'. This fabulous Sparkman & Stephens design has classic lines, superb deck & interior layout, she is built for speed and comfort too. This is the Scheel keel, shoal draft version of the T40, which allows the versatility of being able to gunkhole & cruise into shallow waters without sacrificing windward performance.
Nereid has been used for club racing by her owners over the past 13 years and also as a family cruising boat on the Chesapeake Bay (see owners comments on performance below). Many recent upgrades and ongoing maintenance by loving owners have kept her up to date and looking like a much 'younger' boat.
