This Tim Jackett design is the epitome of a performance cruiser. Fast and sea kindly, she draws the gaze of all that see her. Her modern underbody and sleek lines deliver excellent control on all points of sail. This 1999 Tartan 3800 is hull #42 and, as one of the last 3800's built, includes Majestic Blue topsides, a highlighted white cove stripe, and beautifully varnished teak toe rails. The wide side decks and the secure cockpit make her a wonderful ride. The deep protected cockpit has a full T-shaped helm station, so access to and from it is convenient. This design, simply, does the important things well. It is comfortable to work or relax aboard, and the boat’s profile will please the eye as much in ten years as it does today.
When you step below, the rich, wonderful hand rubbed cherry interior and teak and holly sole remind you that you are on a Tartan. The joinery is second to none. The Tartan 3800 has two staterooms with double bunks, along with a convertible double salon bunk and a salon single. The head has a separate stall shower and vanity/shaving mirror. The galley will be the envy of the dock, with a large top and front access refrigerator, ample counter space and louvered locker storage. Lots of stainless-steel ports and hatches provide ample ventilation.
As with most, if not all, of Tim Jackett’s designs, the Tartan 3800 has won many awards, including Cruising World's Boat of the Year contest in 1992. With only 44 hulls built, it is a rear opportunity when one of these beautiful boats comes on the market. RENDEZVOUS has been maintained by professionals throughout her life and her condition is impeccable. She is probably the cleanest & best maintained Tartan 3800 on the market today!
RENDEZVOUS has received continual improvements over the years. Some of her more notable features include:
