The Tartan 34, designed by Sparkman and Stephens, made her debut in 1968.  Tartan 34's were renowned for their quality of construction, excellent sailing characteristics, attractive lines, and a comfortable cockpit and accommodations. Over 500 were built over the next 10 years.  Well maintained Tartan 34's continue to be in demand on the brokerage market.  

OTTER's current owners have owned her with pride and have upgraded her nicely.  She is neat and clean and presents herself beautifully.  Her owners have decided it's time to give up sailing.  She's on a mooring in Marion, MA and can be easily seen.  She's been priced to sell and is ready for you to sail her home.
