For Sale: Tartan 41 bluewater - many upgrades

[vtsailguy]

This is not some production plastic with a windvane on and called “bluewater capable”.

Alchemy is a 1974 Tartan 41, one of the best kept examples of the model around. The Tartan 41 was designed specifically to handle bluewater passages, like the Newport-Bermuda race.

“The Tartan 41 had a remarkable impact on the ocean racing world. Built from 1972 to 1976, when S&S were the dominant design firm, the production run was 86 boats. The boat’s moderately heavy displacement and deep sections result in an extremely sea-kindly motion. The 41 is probably the most exciting and it will almost certainly still be around long after today’s generation of “hot” ultra-light-build boats have begun to crack up.”
(magazine review)

Able to sleep 9, bullet proof hardware, fast and comfortable. This boat has been prepped twice for a bluewater passage. The previous owner spent over $85,000 in 2010/12 getting ready. For our trip, we have documented over $30,000 in refitting.

New arch, solar, sails, radar and much more.
