"Synthesis of the modern family boat" In the words of legendary yacht designer Bob Perry.  "The Tartan 3500 is another Tim Jackett design aimed at all around family comfort and performance.  With Modern good looks and the promise of performance to match, this 35 foot sloop may be the best synthesis of both American and European design approaches. "The Tartan 3500 is easily driven, responsive, well mannered.

Designed to be a well mannered, firm and able sailing vessel, the 3500 delivers performance.  Her moderate beam and powerful ends, linked with optional beaver tail keel provide excellent stability and sail carrying ability.  The long waterline and strong rig offer fast passages and a competitive edge while, while the contoured cockpit seats, wide comings and pedestal steering ensure a skippers comfort both at sea and dockside.  Her frame has been well engineered and constructed to save weight, yet remain sound.  The hull is a balsa cored sandwich structure with a vinylester barrier coat between NPG-ISO gelcoat and the hand laid laminate.  A cored deck and a bond-in-place grid structure produce a strength-to-weight ratio that makes her a high performance, medium-displacement cruiser-racer.  The pattern non-skid of her deck maximizes safety, comfort and function.  Logical in layout, she has a 2-foot wide side decks and inboard shrouds that afford easy passage both fore and aft, plus allow optimum sheeting angles for efficient upwind sailing.  Mounted through solid glass and aluminum backing plates, her quality equipment is strategically placed for either cruising or racing pleasure.  Leading all lines aft to to a cockpit that is quite manageable by one, she features a low stretch genoa and main halyard, dacron genoa and main sheets, traveler tagline and reef lines.  Down below, she is fully fitted for cruising comfort with good stowage and generous accommodations.  Her interior is highlighted by Tartan's trademark teak joinery and hand rubbed oil finish while being suitably complemented by the pleasing aesthetics of her fine fabric selections.  The voluminous curves coupled with the clever use of angular bulkheads enable her nav station to be tucked aft while providing plenty of room to stand and move about.
