About the TARTAN 37 (S&S)

Most boats were delivered with the keel/cb and standard rig as shown here. A tall rig and fixed keel were also available. Draft for fixed keel: 6.58'/2.0m Another boat based on the same design was built in England and called the CONDOR 37. Displacement above is 1/2 loading.
