Introduced in the early 1990s as a centerpiece of the company's transition from traditional Sparkman & Stephens designs to the modern era under Tim Jackett, the Tartan 3500 is a quintessential American performance cruiser. Produced between 1991 and 2005, with 152 hulls completed, the model successfully merged a "European" sleekness with the robust, handfinished quality for which the Ohiobased builder is known. According to Sailing Magazine, the 3500 was a "home run" for Jackett, designed to provide a nimble platform for club racing while maintaining the "elbow room" and amenities required for comfortable family coastal cruising.
