Why are Tartan sailboats so expensive, and is the Tartan 3700 actually worth the premium? ⛵ In this Practical Sailor deep dive, we take a close look at one of Tartan Yachts’ most interesting performance cruisers and explain what makes the Tartan 3700 different from many other 37-foot cruising sailboats.
We cover the Tartan 3700’s design, construction, sailing performance, interior layout, keel options, carbon rigging, sail-handling systems, cruising features, known problem areas, and what buyers should inspect before purchasing one. We also look at why later Tartan 3700s became surprisingly high-tech, with features like epoxy-infused construction, carbon-fiber spars, sophisticated furling systems, and premium interior joinery.
If you’re researching Tartan Yachts, looking for the best traditional cruising sailboat, comparing premium used sailboats, shopping for a bluewater cruiser, or considering a Tartan 3700 for coastal or offshore cruising, this review should give you a much better idea of what makes these boats special, and why they continue to command such high prices on the used market.
