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.

Hull
NPG Isothalic gelcoat for superior gloss retention Epoxy hull laminate producing a strength to weight ratio not attainable in any production polyester laminates Epoxy allows all unidirectional fabric laminate, no chopped strand mat Epoxy?s superior adhesive strength reduces overall hull weight while increasing strength producing a faster and safer performance cruising yacht Strict resin control through use of resin impregnation machine and calibrated mixing equipment produces glass to resin ratio of 65% glass, 35% resin (production polyester boats are typically 25 fiber, 75% resin=heavy and brittle) Superior fatigue and cyclic loading characteristics of epoxy ensure hull that retains its shape and strength longer resulting in higher resale value Extensive internal structure designed to carry rig and keel loads, glass taped into hull using modified epoxy resin Corecell linear polyurethane foam hull coring, provides lightweight structure, stiffness, sound and thermal insulation and superior impact resistance Hull is vacuum-bagged and structure is laminated in ?one shot? thus does not rely on secondary bonding of structural materials Hull is post-cure baked for 24 hours at 145 degrees increasing epoxy laminate characteristics Final hull laminate is up to 10 times stronger than a typical polyester laminate of similar weight, i.e. greater safety margins while delivering superior performance over normal production polyester hulls 90 degree throw, Marelon, flush thru hull fittings Marelon fittings are UL and ABS approved and are corrosion free Complete interior paintout for enhanced cosmetics and to seal interior laminate surfaces Built to meet ABS Plan Certification Industry leading, non-prorated 15 year hull structural and blister guarantee Warranty is transferable
Keel/Ballast
6,200 lb., 4% antimonial hardened lead casting (beavertail keel option) Template ground for fit and maximum performance Faired and epoxy coated Deep fin or Beavertail bulb design significantly lowers center of gravity improving righting moment. Result is increased sail carrying ability, performance and safety Ballast is thru-bolted to hull with cast in place stainless steel bolts Quantity and size exceed ABS standard for offshore use
