1974 Tartan - UPGRADES !! --cruise ready

The Tartan 41 was the "queen of the fleet" when introduced to the Tartan line in the '70's.  A respected S&S design, the 41 has been considered to be among the ultimate offshore performance yachts -for cruising or racing. Supremely maintained and upgraded for cruising by her fastidious owners, ALCHEMY surely stands out as a remarkable value in a turnkey cruising yacht, for under $100,000.  

The list of recent upgrades and refit items is truly impressive.  The value of new gear since 2009 surely amounts to many tens of thousands of dollars!  A short list of the highlights includes:

• Awlgripped hull
• Mainsail and genoa
• 6 Harken winches
• SSB, VHF/AIS, E-80 plotter, Nexus "server," "Bose sound," etc, etc
• AGM batteries; solar panels; LED lights, etc
• Monitor steering vane
