The Tartan 31 has excellent form stability, low wetted surface and powerful sailing lines. Her design numbers reflect a hull form with good behavior and performance throughout a wide range of wind and wave conditions. In other words, she sails like a dream. “4th of July” has had extensive Upgrades and Improvements in 2021 & 2022.
Accommodations
Tartan sailboats are known for their solid, high quality construction. The interior is oiled teak with white overhead, nine opening ports, fore & main cabin deck hatches and a teak and holly cabin sole. “4th of July” has the classic warmth and appeal of a true yacht.
The forward cabin qualifies as the owner’s stateroom with a large hanging locker, two swivel lights, large foredeck hatch, and articulated door for privacy. A side seat cushion comes up to make one large continuous double berth. A Tufted Topper cushioned mattress cover and custom-fitted sheets were added in 2017.
The head is to port with a manual Jabsco head (2015) & holding tank, molded sink and counter top, pressure hot & cold water, mirror, handheld shower, teak shower grate, and independent shower sump pump, linen locker, and opening port w/screen.
The salon’s starboard settee makes a comfortable single berth with storage behind and outboard. The port settee also has storage behind and serve as single berth with a pilot berth above and outboard. The dinette table folds up against the forward bulkhead. There is a double quarter berth to port. Good light and ventilation are provided by both reading and dome lights, courtesy lights, multiple opening ports w/screens, deck hatches, two dorade vents and the companionway. The interior grab rails make movement below decks safe and secure in a seaway.
The C-shaped galley to starboard has storage galore, deep stainless steel sink near center line with a cold water foot pump, hot and cold pressure water with a 6 gallon, 110v AC/engine heated hot water heater, a large, insulated ice box, and a gimbaled, and two burner Seaward CNG stove and Seaward microwave.
The outward facing navigation station is to port at the front of the quarter berth with a fold-down chart table. There are additional storage drawers alongside and cabinets outboard.
