Cruisers TANGAROA

The Tartan 4000 is the only vessel to be awarded a double-headed win by Cruising World and Sailing World. Delivering sensational sailing performance, the 4000 was noted by Cruising World Boat of The Year judges as stiff, fast, weatherly and fun. Hand crafted in America; she is a fitting addition to the 63-year heritage of Tartan Yachts.

The Tartan 4000 design embodies all the recent Tartan leading technologies and advanced performance cruising conveniences. CCR (Cruise Control Rig), carbon fiber mast, boom and rudder, infused BPA epoxy composite hull and deck, all lead low center of gravity bulb keels give cruising performance advantages that other builders cannot match. 

On deck the 4000 features details that deliver good looks, comfort and security. Wide side decks and molded bulwarks with a solid teak cap rail provide safe and secure movement fore and aft. Ventilation on a Tartan is second to none, and the 4000 continues this tradition with all opening stainless steel house side portlights, cockpit portlights, stainless steel deck hatches and 4 stainless steel dorade ventilators with stainless guards. Stainless steel handrails running the length of the housetop within easy reach, provide safe on deck maneuvering in the roughest conditions. The cockpit is all about comfort and convenience. A twin wheel layout provides easy centerline access aft to the hinged boarding/swim platform and places the helmsman in a great sailing position. The seats are contoured for comfort and flank a stowable teak cockpit table.

Of course, Tartan is known for the finest interior joiner work and creative interior arrangement plans. The 4000 features handcrafted, solid stock cherry cabinetry befitting the finest sailing yachts built in America. The beauty of her varnished solid stock cabin sole is simply striking. This is not your cookie cutter production interior found in mass-produced boats. The forward cabin is dedicated as the owner's stateroom. It is opulently appointed with tongue and groove cherry hull sealings, extensive cabinetry, island berth master stateroom and a spacious head with stall shower. Her main cabin is the social center of the interior with comfortable sofa seating, wonderful club chairs, a drop leaf table and furniture grade cabinets. The cook will enjoy a galley that has been optimized to include thoughtful storage, extensive counter space, top and front access icebox and the best in marine appliances. The nav station is the center for on board systems control. The engineered electrical system and navigation equipment all have their place and are conveniently located for operation. Aft, the 4000 has a single second cabin layout.

This Tartan 4000 listing, “TANGAROA”, is offered for the first time by her original owners. Experienced boaters and Tartan owners, they specified the build with an eye towards what they had learned from their previous Tartan and how they would use their new Tartan 4000. Since they took delivery from Tartan the boat has never left the Pamlico Sound and has only been day sailed. Some of TANGAROA’s noteworthy features include:

• A Volvo D2-55 diesel with only 165 hours on it!
• Carbon fiber mast
• Leisure Furl in-boom sail system
• Sobstad sails, including a self-tending jib
• A Sobstad drifter that has never been put on (aside from the initial test sail)  
• Electric halyard winch
• Harken Rewind reversing electric primary and secondary winches
• Push button in and out controls for all four winches at either helm station
• LED lighting throughout
• Garmin electronics suite

And much more!
