Tartan 372 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Tartan 372 means looking at a Tim Jackett-designed 37-foot sloop built by Tartan Marine, with just sixty produced. These are modern cruisers with an IMS-derived hull and a choice of fin or Scheel keel, and the used fleet tends to be concentrated in one national market.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 372 left the factory with two keel configurations: a deep fin drawing 6 feet 10 inches and a shoaler Scheel variant at 4 feet 9 inches that carries 500 more pounds of ballast. The Scheel version opens shallower anchorages but the fin gives more ultimate performance. Below, the cockpit coamings wrap forward to add headroom in the head and aft stateroom at the cost of some seat length, and angled bulkheads make the main cabin feel larger. The quarter cabin holds a 6 foot 4 inch double berth with bureau and hanging locker, while the galley wraps over the engine box. A Yanmar 3HM 3FE of 34 horsepower is the standard auxiliary, with 43 gallons fuel and 90 gallons water.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Boats on the market commonly carry a watermaker, air conditioning, solar, a code zero, and full canvas in the form of bimini and dodger, along with radar, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, Starlink, EPIRB, and life raft — a short-handed-ready package is also typical. Often-seen upgrades include lithium batteries, an asymmetric spinnaker, a furling main, a freezer, and a cockpit shower. For a buyer, the lithium and solar cluster means reduced generator dependence; the code zero and asymmetric extend light-air range; and the full navigation cluster (radar, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter) signals a boat set up for distance cruising rather than day sailing.
What to Inspect
The rudder is an elliptical shape with no skeglet in front of it no skeglet in front of the rudder, so inspect the rudder stock and bearing carefully for any play or weeping that could indicate unsupported loads. The deck shows soft sculpted shapes described as low windage soft, sculpted shapes that look low windage; check the hull-to-deck joint and any bonded seams in those curves for separation or crazing. The galley wraps around over the engine box, so confirm engine access and any leaking around that shared structure.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for these boats is the United States. For a shopper, the checklist is short: verify keel type and draft against intended cruising grounds; confirm the rudder and stock condition given the lack of skeglet; test the galley-over-engine access; and review the installed systems cluster (lithium, solar, watermaker, full nav) for age and service history.
