1982 Tartan 37 CB

The Tartan 37 is considered one of today's classic cruising yachts. Designed by Sparkman & Stephens with a lot of input from Tartan, the boat was introduced in 1976. Initially conceived as a boat that could be sold as a racer as well as a cruiser, it was the shoal draft centerboard cruiser that took off.

By any standard of performance comparisons, the Tartan 37, for a boat of this class, was anything but disappointing. She is quite stable with excellent windward and downwind sailing performance.When reaching, as would be expected, this boat excels.

The boat became very popular for both club racing as well as coastal cruising, with many ending up in Florida and the Bahamas. Fast and comfortable 24 hour runs were enjoyed by many owners.

"Ke Holo" is hull # 374 of the 486 Tartan 37's built. She was a fresh water boat from launch to 1997. She's had plenty of recent upgrades including all new Newfound Metals Ports (8), new Yanmar 3YM30AE, transmission, shaft, lasdrop seal and prop, Mermaid reverse cycle air conditioning and heat, dinghy w/outboard and davits, etc.

She received a new North Sails full battened mainsail, cover and lazy jacks and North Sails 135% genoa in 2014.
