1978 Tartan 30

Ive had this 1978 Tartan 30 for 7 years, having sailed her offshore from Fort Myers, Florida to the southern Chesapeake Bay, where it stayed for several years and then up to New York 3 years ago. I’ve decided to move on to dinghy sailing and am now selling her. I can deliver the boat on the East Coast between Maine and the Chesapeake. Asking price is $8,000 (negotiable)

A great boat for day sailing, coastal or offshore cruising, the Tartan 30 is a racer/cruiser designed by Olin Stephens of Sparkman and Stephens and robustly built by Tartan Marine. It features a Yanmar 2YM15 diesel engine with approximately 600 hours, a North 130 Genoa about 4 years old and a Main sail used only a few times.

Topsides were repainted with Interlux Perfection in 2017. The toerails and wood trim have some cracks and damage but does not affect the sailability of the boat.

The boat is currently on the hard in Mamaroneck, NY at my club and with launch available for May 3 and May 6. The buyer will need a place to take the boat to at the time of launching since I no longer have a mooring.
