2015 Tartan 4000

Oriental, North Carolina

$425,000

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!

 

Tartan 4000 opportunities don’t come around very often. “TANGAROA” is ready to step on and leave now! Call now and make an appointment to see her before she is gone!

Accommodations

Master stateroom:  The master stateroom features a centerline 80” x 64” queen sized berth with a custom quilted mattress. Beneath the berth are four drawers, with additional storage under the berth.  At the head of the bed is a recessed fiddled bookshelf. Cherry staving lines the hull sides, with fiddled nightstand shelves on either side at the head of the bed. Aft of those and on port is a locker with shelves; on starboard there are a pair of locker doors; one with shelving and the other a cedar lined hanging space. Beneath those is a changing seat with storage below that.  

There are two overhead hatches, one opening port and a Hella fan for ventilation.  Additional lighting is provided by two reading lights, one large round overhead light and seven small, recessed LED lights.

As you move aft into the hallway space, there is a cedar-line hanging locker with a fiddled shelf above. Headroom in the master stateroom is 6’1”.  

Head:  The head is located on port between the saloon and master stateroom and has 6’1” headroom. It is constructed of molded fiberglass for easy maintenance and has an integral non-skid floor. As you enter, the head is angled to the left with the sink and circular shower stall to the right of that.  

The Granicote curved counter space has an integral round sink, with a polyethylene door locker beneath the sink and three cherry faced lockers above the sink and head, with a mirrored panel locker door above the sink.

The shower stall has a fiberglass seat, with polyethylene door locker storage areas beneath and above it. The shower door is curved and made of frosted acrylic. There are two overhead lights, two opening ports and an opening hatch in this space.   

Saloon: The 4000 saloon is truly sumptuous, with exquisite cream Ultraleather cushions that are very well done and hardwood cherry all around you. The arched headliner is a cream laminate, with cherry staving accent strips. Headroom is a comfortable 6’4”.  In keeping with Tartan’s reputation for well-ventilated spaces, there is a large hatch overhead and four opening ports, with two dorade vents and a Hella fan augmenting them.   

The port settee is C-shaped, with storage and tankage beneath it. The settee can pull out to create a 7’2” x 46” berth when desired. There is more storage behind the seat backs, while above are two shelving lockers and a fiddled bookshelf along the hullside.   

On starboard, there are two barrel-back seats that are perfect for curling up with a book and a cup of coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. Between the seats and forward are two table areas, both with storage space beneath them. There is also storage beneath and behind the seats on this side. A narrow, fiddled shelf runs along behind both seats; above and behind that are three lockers with shelves and another fiddled bookshelf. Between the seating is a cherry drop leaf dinette table, with drawers and a top-access storage space in the center.  

In addition to the opening ports and hatch, there are lots of lights, with two swivel reading lights, two round overhead lights, seven dimmable overhead lights and two centerline LED lights over the dinette table.  

Nav station:  Located on starboard and across from the galley, the spacious nav station is facing forward and quite comfortable. The seat, back and integral arm rest are nicely upholstered, with room for two. Storage, battery switches and winch breakers are beneath the seat. The nav table itself is large enough for a regular chart, has a map light on a flex arm, loads of storage beneath the lid and three drawers below that. Electrical panels and electronics are to the right and neatly organized. Ventilation is provided by an opening port, an overhead dorade vent and a Hella fan. Headroom here is 6’3”. Additional lighting comes from two dimmable overhead lights and two overhead round lights.   

Galley:  The Tartan 4000 galley is amazing and has loads of storage and counterspace. The cherry fiddled Granicote countertops are wrap-around in a J-shape at the base of the companionway on port. The Granicote sinks are integral, oriented towards centerline and facing forward. Beneath the sinks is double doored storage space. Continuing around toward the hull, there is a custom niche for a countertop convection oven.   

To the left of that and along the hull is a two-burner range; double door storage with shelves is below that. To the left of that cabinet is a set of two drawers, with a drop-down locker beneath them. Above and along the hull are two single door and one double door locker, all with shelves.    

Along the aft counter is a top-loading freezer and a top and front-loading refrigerator. A drop door locker is above the refrigerator and a locker with shelves is above the freezer. The countertop wraps back out along the companionway steps, with a shelved locker beneath the counter there.   

All in all, one would be hard put to ask for a nicer galley- and the configuration makes for easy bracing while at sea. Headroom in here is between 6’3” and 6’4”. Ventilation is provided by two opening ports, an overhead hatch, a dorade vent and a Hella fan. Additional lighting comes from three dimmable overhead lights and three overhead round lights.   

Aft stateroom:  As you enter the aft stateroom there is a hanging locker to your left with a fiddled shelf above it. Along the hullside are three drop-down door lockers running the length of the berth, with a generous size fiddled shelf above that. The fore and aft-oriented berth has a custom 78” x 55” x 47” mattress. Beneath the mattress is storage and battery banks. Headroom in here is 6’2”; ventilation is good with three opening ports, one overhead hatch and a Hella fan. Additional LED lighting is provided by three dimmable lights above, a reading light and an overhead round light.
