Accommodations

The Tartan 3500 was an extremely successful model for Tartan. They built over 150 of them from 1992 until 2006. Heartsong is a late 1992 model Hull # 22. Forward is a nice double vee berth with plenty of ventilation, as well as dual bureau and drawer storage. The main salon has plenty of natural ventilation and light from the many opening port- lights. The teak interior is in great shape, as is the teak n holy sole and the navy blue fabric. The starboard settee converts to a double bunk when needed. This was a custom option of which Tartan did not do very often. Galley is large with the nav desk aft to starboard, which gives the galley an even larger feel for a 35 footer. Front and top access to the icebox, which has refrigeration. Nav desk is aft facing behind the galley and has all the 12 vdc and 110 vac breakers as well as VHF and stereo. Under the nav seat is the custom configured battery bank with 2-4D batteries ( 300+ AH ) Head with stall shower is directly across from the galley with the aft cabin tucked in to port aft of the head. This layout was very popular and continues to offer a nice cruising platform for a 35 footer.

Sailboat Review: Tartan 365

• By Mark Pillsbury
• June 15, 2023

Speaking on behalf of the 2023 Boat of the Year team, I can say none of us could have predicted a better grand finale to our multiple days of sea trials that immediately followed the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, this past October . With 17 boats in the hunt for honors, we lucked out with two days of blue skies and honking northerlies, followed by a windshift to the south that picked up where the previous breezes left off. It was the first time I can remember when every entry enjoyed such generosity from the Chesapeake wind gods. And by the time we boarded our last vessel—the handsome and rugged Tartan 365—along with designer Tim Jackett, the whitecap-covered bay was the ideal venue for a performance cruiser to, well, perform.

I’ll let my colleague Herb McCormick, describe the scene: “On a sporty Chesapeake Bay day with choppy seas and gusty winds—the sort of conditions where prudence might’ve called for a reef or maybe two in the main—we instead opted for a full-hoist mainsail and were treated to one of the best test sails in our entire Boat of the Year sea trials. 

“With the efficient double-­headsail Cruise Control Rig, we dialed up the staysail, which provided plenty of grunt going to weather and ample horsepower off the breeze. At the wheel, the helm was light and exact; down below, out of the fray, all was tight and quiet. The 365 certainly wasn’t one of the larger boats in the contest, but the size and dimensions seem just about ideal for a cruising couple, and it was clear that the boat would happily take you just about anywhere you wished to go.”

Alrighty then. Once we’d all taken a turn at the wheel and confirmed the agility of the boat pounding to weather, we cracked off, furled the working jib, and rolled out the big reacher—a convenient way to shift gears using the Cruise Control Rig. With breeze abaft the beam, we headed for the United States Naval Academy and the mouth of the Severn River, the 365 trucking along as though riding on rails. And once we learned that it was Jackett’s first time aboard the boat under sail, we turned over the helm to its creator. We sat back and enjoyed what turned into a flat-water ride to remember through a long New England winter.

Tartan has been building boats in Ohio since 1960, and Jackett has been at the drawing board, initially in collaboration with Sparkman & Stephens and later with an in-house design team, since 1977. The decades-long ­collaboration has resulted in a long run of fine-sailing cruising sailboats, with deck layouts, equipment, and interior accommodations designed to meet the needs of owners who often sail shorthanded or with occasional family and guests aboard. Several models have won top honors in Cruising World ’s Boat of the Year contests, including the 365, which was named 2023 Best Midsize Cruiser .

The company was purchased by Seattle Yachts in 2020, and during the pandemic, manufacturing was moved from Fairport Harbor to a new facility in Painesville, Ohio. Besides being chief designer, Jackett now also manages production.

The 365’s fiberglass hull is foam-cored and infused using epoxy vinylester resin; the deck is cored with balsa and infused with epoxy. Hull and deck penetrations are through solid-glass windows; aluminum plates are added to the laminate where hardware is mounted. The primary bulkheads are foam-cored too, with rich wood veneers on exposed surfaces. The boat we saw in Annapolis had a light-cherry interior and solid-wood furniture; teak and maple are also options. 

The layout and fit-and-finish of the interior are as upscale as they are practical. The owner’s berth is forward. In the salon, a centerline drop-leaf table sits just abaft the mast, with settees to either side. A galley is aft and to port; a full nav station sits opposite. There’s generous counter space for a boat of this size, and deep fiddles will keep dishes and ingredients where they belong underway. Abaft the companionway, there’s a double-berth guest stateroom to port and a head to ­starboard, with stowage behind. All told, there can be berths for six to seven crew.

I really liked the look of the cherry furniture and ­aqua-colored cushions set off against a white cabin top. The interior popped.

Tartan makes its own carbon-fiber masts and booms, both of which come as standard equipment. Jackett says that they add to the vessel’s inherent stability because they reduce weight aloft and the tendency for hobbyhorsing in a seaway. The 365 in Annapolis sported an optional Leisure Furl boom that worked flawlessly when we set sail. The single rudder has a carbon-fiber shaft, held in place by Jefa bearings, making the twin-helm Edson steering butter-smooth.

If I had a need to pick a nit, it would be the cam cleats used to secure the furling lines for the headsails. They are located along the lifelines, just outside the port cockpit coaming, where they can be inadvertently released, as we found out during one of our upwind tacks. A cleat or other positive locking mechanism would be an easy fix, I’d guess.

Otherwise, I thought that the topsides ergonomics worked quite well. Hardware and electronics from Harken, Raymarine and the like were top-notch, and sails were by Sobstad. There was plenty of room abaft the wheels to work, seating forward in the cockpit was comfortable, and the wide side decks going forward were easy to traverse. Overall, the feeling was snug, I noted, which it should be on a cruising boat, where the crew wants to sail safely and stay rested for the long haul.

Perhaps my fellow judge Ed Sherman summed up the Tartan 365 most succinctly: “First class all the way here.”

Beautiful boat!! Wishing you many happy times on your new adventure!

Wow, what a great boat.

GREAT BOAT, I won the 1989 NOOD in Chicago, beating the designer Eric. Some Exciting Great racing, I just loved the T-35. Great Coverage in Sailing World Mag. September 1989

I learned that Lindy Thomas passed away recently. It's quite a loss to the sailing world.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Also promoted as T-35. Some later boats were delivered with a masthead rig.
