1999 Tartan 3500

OWNER WANTS HER SOLD!

Price reduced $20,000 9/22/2015

"The Tartan 3500 is a perfect example of what's right with the sailing industry. Handsome, well designed and soundly engineered, the 3500 is a sleek performance-cruiser that during the course of a long production run has also weathered the turbulent economic seas of the past few years. While it is a stretch to claim that a boat is an investment, some models hold their value better than others, and the 3500 is among this select few."

 John Kretschmer "Sailing Magazine " 2/2012

The 3500 interior features two genuine double cabins. Once below you find yourself with the galley to starboard and the large head to port. The designer angled the furniture facings to better utilize the space.  It's a remarkable galley for a 35-foot boat. The head has a separate shower stall, another impressive design feature.

The saloon is finished in the optional maple interior and the cabin sole is teak with inlaid holly. The joiner-work is quite nice. There is center-line salon table with opening leaves on both sides.  Excellent ventilation is provided by two Hood overhead deck hatches, S/S dorades  and 10 stainless steel Hood portlights. The settees have contoured cushions that are quite comfortable. Additionally the Settee on this boat is convertible to a double, like the option that was available on the 3700's.

The forward cabin features a large double berth. The aft cabin also includes a full-sized double berth, a hanging locker and shelves and drawers. Another clever design feature is the aft-facing nav station tucked behind the galley.
