2004 Tartan 3700

Another price improvement!
This mid sized cruiser is easily single handed yet boasts a surprising amount of room down below for a couple looking to spend a few nights at anchor or a season cruising the coast.  Born To Run has been used by her second owners for day sails around the Annapolis area of the Chesapeake Bay.  While she is certainly capable for this use, she does need some work in order to safely cruise offshore waters.  The price adjustment reflects the current condition.  With a bit of work, this Tartan 3700 could be a stunner.

Accommodations

ACCOMODATIONS
The salon features incredible 6'4" headroom and the feeling of much more space, thanks to the generous beam.  Traditional cherry wood joinery personifies the quality of craftmanship only Tartan can provide.  The centerline drop-leaf table will comfortably seat five when raised or drop down for more room. To port, a long straight settee; to starboard a U-shaped dinette that can be converted to a double berth. Lots of lockers along the hull and additional hidden storage behind the seats.  Well placed grab rails are on either side of the housetop. Lighting and ventilation are provided by eight overhead lights, 12V cabin fans, two reading lights, four opening ports and two overhead hatches. Dedicated forward facing Nav station to port.
The forward cabin features a V-berth that is actually large enough for two adults to sleep comfortably in (the berth is 76" L x 25" x 86" and has a removable center insert). Several drawers, cabinets and a hanging locker to stow your belongings. This cabin features a vanity with sink to freshen up in privacy. A large overhead hatch for light and ventilation. 

The aft cabin has a 70" x 78" athwartships berth, with storage beneath it. A hanging locker and a more generous storage with drawers and shelves. Four opening ports provide great ventilation. 

The head is extremely generous in size, especially considering this is a 37' boat! The separate shower area with a bi-fold door to separate dry from wet is usually top of the cruisers wish list. Manual Jabsco head, sink, mirror.

Please note, there is moderate to severe water damage that has affected the interior, most notably in the starboard aft bulkhead, extending from the machinery space outboard under the aft cabin door frame. The area appears dry, suggesting that the damage is from a past event and no active leaks are present. The base of the bulkhead with the most significant damage has resulted in near 100% deterioration of the structural material and integrity of the bulkhead. While no visible flexing or movement of the bulkhead to deck joint was observed at the starboard upper portion of the aft bulkhead, gelcoat cracks at the starboard aft deck liner in the galley where it joins the bulkhead suggest some flexing and or binding in this area.
Moderate to severe water damage observed at the port forward bulkhead extending from an area approximately amidships outboard to approximately where the cabin sole ends and joins the interior liner. The area with the most significant damage visible has near 100% deterioration of the structural material and integrity of the bulkhead. Stress cracks were observed at the the interior liner in this area, and the forward cabin door is significantly out of alignment and binds on the port settee, suggesting some flexing and binding of structural components is occurring.

Pictures of the affected area are included.  An inspection of the wood damage was performed by a surveyor and is available upon request.GALLEY

Manufacturer Provided Description
When Tartan's designer, Tim Jackett, set out to create the latest in a long line of excellent 37-footers from Tartan, he thought past the usual approach to the performance/accommodation puzzle to arrive at a number of "wow, that's the way to go" style solutions. The result is a fast and stable performance cruising yacht with an uncommonly welcoming and functional interior. 
A key aspect of the Tartan 3700's reassuring stability is the generous 12-foot 7-inch beam that is carried well aft, but with an innovative twist at the stern where topside flare adds plenty of deck and cockpit space, while keeping the transom waterline on the trim side. 
The tall, two-spreader masthead rig provides plenty of sail for rewarding performance in light winds, and each of the 3700's keel options is designed to make the boat stand up and keep driving in breezy conditions. The accommodation plan of the Tartan 3700 works equally well for feeding and watering a cruising crowd or for pampering a family or two cruising couples on an extended sailing vacation. The two staterooms are completely private, each with generous-size clothes drawers and hanging locker. And by cleverly angling the bulkheads of the dinette outward and angling the bulkheads of the nav station and galley inward the feel of the 3700's interior suits the particular function of each space.Engine and Mechanicals
