1997 Tartan 3500

Portsmouth, Rhode Island

$120,000

Description Highlander is owned by a long-time sailor who cruised and raced the boat offshore short-handed. He understands how important high-quality maintenance is sailing offshore. He is ready to move onto a bigger boat

This review is taken from Spin Sheet Magazine:

. The Tartan 3500 was introduced in the early 90s as a higher-end performance cruiser. Depending on the source, 3500 production started in 1991 or 1993 and lasted until 2005 producing 152 boats. Like most Tartans hulls, the 3500 hull is mostly cored with end-grain balsa, using solid glass in the keel sump, at the chain plate gussets, and thru-hull fittings, such as transducers and intake/discharge fittings. For most of its production run the 3500 hull was built with a combination of polyester and vinyl ester resins laid up by hand in traditional open molds. Construction details aside, in my opinion, one of the main attractions of the 3500 is the layout, design, and appearance of the vessel’s interior. The interior design maximizes living space making it an excellent couples’ boat or a good choice for a small/young family. The combination of above-average sailing performance and a rich well-appointed interior has struck a good balance between sailing performance and below-deck comfort.
