"One of the most progressive sailboats on the market today!? says Practical sailor. The magazine that accepts no advertising thus gives you a unbiased reviews. They also go onto say ?Honoring tradition while maximizing technology might seem like a contradiction, but the Tartan 3400 make it seem elegant, intelligent, and a good way to go. A modern "duel purpose" boat, she is geared to be cruised comfortably yet still be at home on the race course. She is oven-cured epoxy hull, tapered carbon spar, innovative carbon boom, self tacking jib and a good bit more. She is thus set well apart of the others in her size and price range. There are certainly 34-footers that you might sail away for less, but we found that her capabilities, quality and character made the T3400 a value worth exploring!"

Deck
Deck is a balanced composite laminate utilizing vinylester resin, uni-directional ?E?-glass reinforcement, and high strength/stiffness Baltek premium AL 600 balsa coring Our custom resin infusion process creates the best resin to glass reinforcement ratio possible resulting in the stiffest, lightest, strongest deck in production boatbuilding Deck is locally reinforced at high load areas with additional plies of bi-directional ?E?-glass reinforcement NPG Isothalic gelcoat for improved color and gloss retention Gelcoat is formulated for greater flexibility reducing occurrence of common gel coat crazing White, off-white, or sand gelcoat with patterned, molded non-skid surface on horizontal deck areas Balsa core laminates are stiff, strong and lightweight. Balsa coring also offers acoustic as well as thermal insulation increasing interior comfort Core ?windows? at all deck hardware installations. Window is reinforced with solid laminate and isolates hardware installations from cored laminate, reducing stress crazes around hardware often seen in laminates reinforced with plywood and eliminates rot problems associated with decks reinforced with plywood Structurally loaded hardware backed with either FRP or 6061 T6 aluminum backing plates Time-tested hull to deck joint.
