Deck and Hull
The 3500's hull is hand laminated with alternating layers of strand mat and locally reinforced with undirectional E-glass. The gelcoat backup layer includes a 4 millimeter coat of vinylester resin to prevent blistering. The hull is partially cored with Baltek balsa for panel stiffness but is solid glass at the deck flange, through-hull fitting, chain plates and keel installation. The keel is externally fastened with stainless bolts and the rudder stock is a massive 3 inch stainless steel post.

- Spade Rudder
- Bottom Painted 2019
The deck is balsa cored and joined to the hull with stainless fasteners that are tapped into aluminum receiving plates, then molded into the hull flange and chemically bonded. Like the hull, the deck is solid glass beneath high-load hardware. Backing plates are aluminum and fiberglass. The side decks are wide and the chain plates and jib sheet trackes are well inboard, providing a tighter sheeting angle to weather. Also, providing clear, clean and safe passage for moving from bow to stern. A good size anchor locker forward and single anchor roller.
- Rocna #15 anchor with approx 30' chain and rode
- White deck with off white non-skid
- Teak toe rail
- Iverson OFF SHORE Dodger and Bimini with transition.
The T-shaped cockpit has plenty of space to seat four plus the helmsperson comfortably. The primary winches are mounted well aft, making the trasition from the cockpit to the deck less cluttered and allows the single handed sailor an easier reach. The electric drop down transom makes swimming more accessible and offers a good landing spot for the dingy.
- Hot / Cold pressure stern shower
It is known, the Tartan 3500 is a nice sailing boat throught a wide range of conditions. A sail area-to-displacement ration of 19.4 and displacement to length ration of 188 describes a boat that is not a cruising slug by any means. The polars suggest good light-air performance, even while sailing on the wind, and there is no doubt the 3500 will be able to stand up to a blow. Accouring to owners, the 3500 reaches in a stiff breeze with speeds upward of 8 knots.
