Hi Capt! I just wanted to let you know that the Tartan 34 is now in Thomaston ME and will be sailing out of Rockland in about a month. She is definitely a "diamond in the rough" and I am looking forward to making her shine.

Thanks Captain Q for reviewing the T34C. I own one and I am very happy with her sailing abilities and simplicity. I took her to Europe and will repeat the experience this year. Thanks also for reviewing older boats and to bring them back to life. These boats give people a chance to get on the water at an affordable price. Cheers, Richard

[@YachtHunters]

wow thats a grea recommendation for her everyone always asks and this time you have the answere

[@gottogo8675]

I’m sailing hull 280 . Love to hear how she sails the open ocean

[@tartansailor]

@@gottogo8675 When I did my Atlantic tour, we were broad reaching most of the time from the Port quarter. I have lowered the centerboard about 1/3 of the way to increase lateral forces. I have put a second reef on the mainsail most of the time otherwise I took it down completely. I used a 110% Yankee and a 70% jib on my way East and a poled out genoa 150% on my way West. With properly balanced and reduced sails, the Wheel Pilot steered all the way. I only had to replace the belt a few times. She is small but sails well. Cheers, Richard

[@mboyer68]

I absolutely love how you guys are just as excited about a 1974 in need of much work as you are of a newer boat in pristine condition. Captain Q can see through the imperfections and talk is through as if he's on the boat after a major refit. I've been sailing and windsurfing then beach catamaran racing for 45 years and my next sailboat will be something like this old girl. I can fix anything and look forward to rebuilding a nice older sailboat. Thank you you guys for traveling hither and yon and for creating these wonderful videos! I really don't think that boat is worth $8400. They'd be lucky to find anyone who would want it with the costs of transporting, keeping it at a marina, and refitting. Good luck!

[@bikemessenger7]

I love the cabin on this. I mentioned a long time ago an idea and this boat really makes me think of it again. Imagine getting this boat and bringing it to your property and setting it up and using it as a cabin in the woods! you can slowly work on it and have a fun place to stay when you go to your land. perhaps a very very slow way to get a boat into shape while using it regularly. Much better than having it in a boat yard and a fun place to retreat to and just relax.

[@YachtHunters]

That would be cool! and the wives would be glad to know where you are

[@nojtom]

Did that. Sunk it into the dirt up just higher than the waterline. My friends would come to visit whenever they could get their dinghy off the back of the car, and row out to see me!

Great to hear! we try our best and we enjoy learning ourselves from not only every boat but everyone of our great fans who come to us with their thoughts

[@gregsage1605]

I owned a 74 T34c in SF for years. Great sailing boat, reasonably comfortable and always fun in the daily blow. You really have to pay attention to the decks for moister. Mine had a Universal diesel in it that was wonderful. Made many trips under the gate in gales. Loved the boat except for deck rot. You'll want foul weather gear going up wind in a blow.

[@YachtHunters]

Right on! We love personal experience reports

[@Shogundargarah]

Amazing find! TY CQ & Ran-Day!!

[@just-dl]

What I’m liking about this boat: the lack of sponginess in the deck that you commented on. The condition of the rigging seems to range from adequate to very good. The interior appears to be clean and dry. The space in the cabin. What I don’t like: the cock pit appears cramped. The mast lying across the boat may unduly contribute to that. The nav station appears cramped. The sails under the cushion may impact that as well. Would like to RE-examine that. The unknowns: the electronics and tankage and condition of the engine. I can research some of that. Assuming the engine is working, this boat needs nothing but someone to love her. From what I’m seeing this has to be one of the best values around. I’d add a small stove, composting toilet and a wee bit of solar power. With some water, soap and enthusiasm, she’d be a thing of beauty. Actually, she already is.

[@YachtHunters]

You took the words out of my mouth

Hi there, It's me again. (I am the one who is not going to Annapolis with the tickets just taped to the wall here.😠. ~Alas) But. This video, among those that are recent that I haven't seen, ~ opens a bit of a new door for me. I have a (large -sort of) amount of equity in my house ~ no family around ~ (Florida and Seattle) ~. So my thought is to go "all in" on a boat that floats and sails. Period. No "dock side" living. Just go to sea. Limit expenses by "sailing and repair." I've got a pension too. So it's this ~ or a motorcycle. Anyway to start with a fixable boat with the usual amenities at 10 G is soooo tempting. ~~~ Course I'd need to sell my house first. Again ~ Thanks so much for the dream. You guys are the best !

[@YachtHunters]

a good surveyor would be your friend to evaluate the total refit/repair cost on top of the purchase price. Sails, engine, rigging can add up quite quickly so those are the things that are good to know before you make your offer. This Tartan needed a lot of love but we heard the sails were decent and the rigging was okay... but we would really lean on a proper and thorough survey here.... perhaps there's an argument to the owner that he should take less?

For a future content sometime . Could you possibly show how they put the masts in . I dont know anything about sailboats or even boats . Its looks very heavy so I dont think it is possible for a person to put that in. Thank You for your awesome videos. I learn more and more everytime I watch one of your videos.

[@YachtHunters]

its reallly quite simple the mast usually rests on wooden saw horse next to the boat . a large extension arm crane is employed to hook onto a rope strap that has been slid up the mast to rest just below the lower spreder . This is usually close to half way up the length of the mast so when they hoist away the butt end of the mast will want to hang lower then the mast head......with three or four yard men guiding the mast over to the boat and then aligning the buttup with the mat step (if on deck ) or the hole in the cabin top (if to be oweered to the step on the keel) and then they strighten the mast up with line controling the sparand the crane lowers it slowly into the hole and 6'down to th keel . whilw still tied to the crane the head stay and backstay aand port and stb uppers are attached quickly an d the spar is in place waitung to be fine tuned Less than ten minutes once the process starts no matter what the size of the spar ...its all about he crane

I like the T34. A shame I’m in Texas. I’m going to the northeast around August, but this boat will be long gone. I found it on Craigslist for almost half the price. It could be launched with most repairs done and heading south long before the end of the season. I wouldn’t even hesitate if this was still available then. Soda blast the lower, spend some time on the crazing, rebed the hardware on the deck, new standing and running, drop it in the water,sail away and work on the rest while your hiding from storms on the way back south. Excellent price for a 34ft cruiser. Live aboard, sail every couple of days, on a 34ft boat. Things could be a lot worse.

For a budget of $10K, you can be sailing in a decent boat like this under 35 feet. Add $5K for a diesel. This one should go for $5-6K, leaving a few Ks for upgrades and repairs (like the rudder). Don't paint (except bottom paint) or put in a ton of cash. After it is cleaned up and in commission, if you don't like it, sell it and get something else.

Tartan 34 is a pretty boat, and they have sure been places (with a few upgrades), including transatlantic sails and PHRF racing. I like the way they sail.. The cabin sole is a little different, but some of the 70s Tartans even had cork soles. Not too many projects to get this one sailing, but the gas engine will discourage a lot of buyers.

These boats are popular in the tartan world. I was never a fan of the cockpit. It always seemed narrow and too long for me. But they're great for caribbean cruising.

[@YachtHunters]

funnny you say that it was my wife's first reaction as well some boats had wheels which greatly improved the space but the narrower cockpits left from older wooden boat designs were practical to minimize water poops and also gave crew surfaces to brace against when heeled not all bad

Well I finally went and done it. Had never had it before but to the company, you owe Captain Q a commission on 2 large cans of Dinty Moore. It was a "colinary" experience I shall not soon forget . The Tartan is a club special in fresh water areas like Lake Champlain and is quite pretty under sail. Materials to fix her up don't look bad and if you consider your own elbow grease as an investment in leisure, you probably could be fixed up by summer for under 15k. Next up I must try the wine.

[@YachtHunters]

i have never been aboard the -2 but it is certainly a roomyier design and at least has a full chart table usually a lot more money pretty in the modern way as opposed to classic s7s style

Quite the deal for this boat! It may need some work and cleaning but even if you had to spend $15,000 on rehabbing it, it would still be a very good deal and like new! For a solo sailor or a couple, it would even be a very good inter-coastal cruiser. I also love the hearse! Is that for sale too? Great find guys!!! I bet this sells quickly.

[@YachtHunters]

the hearse is just there to cart us away when hypothermia sets in ...I think the boat is nearly ready for coastal day saiing as is ... so you only might need to dribble in bits at a time plus your own labor

Whereas the T34C was a CCA rule design, the UK & Australia built S&S 34 was designed to the RORC rule (both rules were discontinued in 1970 in favour of the IOR). From above the S&S 34 is almost lozenge shaped with a distinctive tumblehome and deep fin keel, displacing 2000lb less than the T34C. Several have circumnavigate (Jon Saundets, Jessica Watson etc.). Differences indeed for similar sized boats from the same designer influenced by different rules.

If I were only a younger man, that looks like an eminently salvagable boat. No she's not perfect but at $8,400, or likely less, you should have some shekels to make her right. Keep the good stuff coming Captain.

you're spot on than you for the encouragement

Still on CL at 7,600. I suspect if you walked into this yard with 50-60 crisp new hundred dollar bills and waved them around, you could own it. Just wish it was closer to me. I do suspect you could splash it right there and sail it down the coast though. Unfortunately, just not the right timing for me. There is one mod I think I would do. It has a rather cramped head because it has a passageway going down the starboard side. That p-way is wasted real estate and you don't have real estate to waste on a near 50 year old 34 fter. I would make it a walk through head. This puts that p-way to use as a shower area. You would also be able to make the stbd locker bigger. One other question. How difficult is it to put a hinged tabernacle into the mast just above deck? I would think a decent welder could come up with something.

Any suggestions on Boats with alot of head room? I'm 6'6 and having a tough time finding something where I can stand up completely?

[@YachtHunters]

There are a number of boats that could work for you . Thd line of Columbia yachts were very good but they are Tuff to find used A number of the boats we have interviewed would work for you and we discuss head room in each Review the episodes when you have the time

[@palmermonsen9098]

Whats that beautiful boat in the intro?

[@YachtHunters]

That is a international 12 m design by Charles Morgan for the Americas cup back in the 70s. She did not make the cut but she has dazzled Mini and I over the years with her natural hull Come to Newport Rhode Island and the current owners will take you for a sail for a slight fee and give you a memory that will last forever

Olin Stephens said about the Tartan 34c "there was nothing outstanding or unusual about it, everything just seemed to work well". I'd buy this one in a shot. Put in another $10 to 15 including a diesel, modern electrics, etc and it'll fetch $35k . I'd love one to circumnavigate in.

Sometime read james Baldwin’s series of books written about his 2x RTW trips. You might rethink your needs

Great little boats but the hull oilcans hard to weather sucks. A few have done world navs but there are more comfortable boats to do it in. Hundreds have done cross ocean things. I love the A-4!

[@YachtHunters]

oilcanning in early days of resin rich hulls was not unusual ..I think more unsettling than anything else especially if you are slleeping next to it in the vee berth

[@melee401]

@@YachtHunters Some affix fittings to the mast to pull down on the rising cabin top. That is an item you see far more in T30s than T34c models. Harder to make it work on the T34c. Interior bulkheads cutting loose from the overhead and doors to heads, v-berths, standing lockers etc. no longer want to open and close. I know a guy who beat to windward in 25-30 knot winds in one of these for 3 days returning from Bermuda to SC. He had to replace the bulkheads surrounding the head. It is not a boat I would highly recommend around the Horn without some modifications.
