Tartan 37
Description
The Tartan 37, designed by the legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens, was produced by Tartan Marine in Painesville, Ohio, from 1976 to 1989, with 486 hulls built. This masthead sloop is a timeless racer-cruiser blending offshore capability with family-friendly comfort, featuring a fin keel (or optional keel/centerboard) and skeg-hung rudder for balanced handling—sleeping 6–7 in a teak-trimmed interior, and celebrated for its speed, build quality, and enduring value.
