1976 Tartan 34 Classic

This 1976 Tartan 34 is a fiberglass sailing yacht with a distinctive keel/centerboard design that offers operational flexibility. The centerboard retracts to a draft of 3 feet 11 inches, enabling access to shallow waters, while lowering to 8 feet 4 inches provides improved upwind performance in deeper conditions. The hull design, developed by Sparkman & Stephens, was engineered to maintain balanced helm characteristics across a range of wind strengths.

The yacht accommodates two cabins and one head. Below deck, the layout provides comfortable cruising quarters for extended passages or seasonal use.

Power comes from a single 30 horsepower Universal gasoline engine, with cruising speed around 6.7 knots and maximum speed of 7.2 knots. The boat carries the solid construction typical of Tartan's fiberglass designs from this era.
