1976 Tartan 38

This 1976 Tartan 38 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built on the performance-oriented hull of the 38 model line. Compared to the contemporary 37, the 38 carries a taller rig, deeper keel, and lighter displacement—roughly 2,600 pounds less—along with a slightly larger cockpit, all contributing to its racing credentials without sacrificing cruising capability.

Below deck, the boat showcases the fine woodwork that defined Tartan's reputation during its era. The interior is finished to a standard well beyond a pure race boat, offering comfortable accommodations for cruising. A Yanmar diesel engine of 35 horsepower provides reliable auxiliary power.

The maintenance records span from 1988 through 2025, documenting consistent and thorough care of the yacht throughout its operational history. This long record of documented upkeep reflects the level of attention the boat has received from its owners.
