1999 Tartan 3500

First introduced in 1994, the Tartan 3500 is considered an ideal size for a family cruising boat with her open interior layout, wide side decks and of course her outstanding performance. Besides being easily sailed, responsive, and well-mannered, she has had success in a number of fleets across the country.

The Tim Jackett designed Tartan 3500 is an excellent sailing machine. Her moderate beam and full ends, coupled with the shoal draft beavertail keel, provide excellent stability and sail carrying ability. The balanced spade rudder provides for fingertip control and excellent maneuverability, whether under sail or power. With a long waterline, low wetted surface and powerful rig, the Tartan 3500’s inherent speed is within reach of both the cruiser and club racer, offering fast passages and competitive race performance.

The Tartan 3500 deck is designed to maximize comfort, safety and function. Wide side decks and shrouds set inboard afford easy passage fore and aft and allow tight sheeting angles for upwind sailing performance.

Commissioned in 1999, our offering offers attractive traditional styling, excellent performance, surprisingly large accommodations and the quality construction and finish that have earned Tartan the reputation they have enjoyed for many years.

In addition to the very comfortable accommodations below decks, the thirteen opening ports, two dorades and two large deck hatches offer plenty of air when at the dock or at anchor. 

"JEDI”, hull number 91 of around 140, has served her caring owners well. They are now ready to pass her stewardship along as they move on to new adventures.

The Tartan 3500 is a great choice for sailors looking for a performance-oriented family cruiser. Rarely, at thirty-five feet, can one find two comfortable staterooms, a wonderful salon, a workable galley, and head with a separate stall shower. 

If you are contemplating a new boat in this size range, the Tartan 3500 is a great option. Call for an appointment to see her today!

Galley: The galley is located on port at the base of the companionway, with a large, deep sink oriented towards centerline.  There is storage beneath the sink; to the right of that is the icebox, which has top and front access.  Above that is a deep double door locker with shelves.  Continuing around along the hull is the 3-burner stove.  There is storage beneath the stove for pots and pans. To the right of the stove is another counter space, with a trash bin conveniently hidden below the counter.  There is a locker with shelves beneath the counter and three utensil drawers above it.  Lighting and ventilation are provided by two overhead lights, two opening ports and an overhead Dorade.
