Whether your cruising plans call for weekend cruising, living aboard for the season or living aboard full time, the Tartan 4400 will indulge you with an abundance of comfort and convenience. We start with furniture-grade solid cherry joinerwork, satin-varnished to perfection, then add your choice of designer fabrics all set off with lighting we've designed that adjusts to suit your mood. The two staterooms have ample drawers and hanging locker space, shelves in the right places, room to dress and space in which to enjoy a quiet moment.
The Tartan 4400 interior is a gem, but because Tartan owners enjoy a yacht that is beautiful and sails right by other cruisers, we've incorporated our trademark mix of speed and reassuring stability into the 4400. The 5-foot 6-inch, draft 9,000-pound beavertail bulb keel gives the 4400 sail-carrying power and stability. A deep, elliptical-shaped balanced spade rudder means instant response and tight maneuvering ability. The 4400's carbon fiber double-spreader masthead rig is as powerful as it is easy to handle, with all sail controls led to the security of the cockpit.
Like you, we're into cruising for the long haul. And like you, we look forward to enjoying the Tartan 4400 for a long, long time.
A Beautiful Cure for Rough Days
Thirty-six hours later, with 35 knots howling in the rigging, the rain driving through gaps in our foul-weather gear, and even the Department of Homeland Security bent on thwarting our passage, I got my wish and much more. By the time we squeezed into our berth on the Hudson River, the gale was blowing full stink, and I had no doubts whatsoever: We’d put the Tartan 4400 to the test, and she’d handled it with aplomb.
