COMMENTS: When the Tartan 3700 was launched in 2000, it represented a significant upgrade in design and build quality from the previous generation Tartan 3800. She is a modern Tim Jackett design and offers more interior volume than her predecessors. The increased volume is seen primarily in the 12'6" beam of the boat, which is carried well aft into the cockpit. The Tartan 3700 has superb layout for cruising. This is truly a two couple boat as the aft cabin or forward cabin can be used as the master. You don't find that in a vessel of this size but this in not a typical 37'. With 12+ year production run and over 160 built, it is no surprise that the top sailing magazine's loved the 3700. Her cruising performance, elegant accommodations and smart design are just a few of the reasons for such high accolades.

 

This owner purchased THUMPER in 2021. She is in impeccable condition with shiny original gelcoat on her topsides; her cabin sole around the mast step has been refinished, and her Navtec hydraulic backstay has been rebuilt. Thee new Marlon thru hulls have been installed. THUMPER is impressive and ready for your viewing. Thank you for your interest.
