27' Tartan 27

I am selling my beloved Tartan 27 because I am moving to South America. The boat is currently outside of Baltimore, Maryland at a friendly marina with fees paid until April 2025.

The decks are free of soft spots and I redid all the penetrations to avoid water intrusion. It has an updated Garmin chartplotter and radio with AIS. The compass and depth sounder are older but working fine. Thru-hulls are all updated and cabin drains have also been redone using larger hose. Dorades are chrome and add a nice touch of class.

Self-tailing Lewmar winches are older but work well and a nice upgrade.

The bright work is in good shape and I also added a teak/holly cabin sole and replaced the original table with a solid mahogany version. The baseplates for stanchions are very beefy, as I replaced the original washer backing with large aluminum baseplates. The Atomic 4 was running well last year, she's been on the hard for a year now. I had all new blue custom cushions made a few years ago and repainted the interior (still in great shape).

The head is a simple camping toilet.

Gallery has Origo alcohol stove and Whale hand water pump. Bilge pump is oversized and reaches into the deep bilge by hose. Needs a new float switch.

The sail inventory includes a main, working jib, two larger jibs, storm jib and an asymmetrical spinnaker. The main and working jib are older but work fine though you might want something newer if you're a racer.

The boat is also set up for a tiller pilot and there are two Raymarine tiller pilots on the boat (one is a spare).

The main problem with the boat is that it is currently missing a centerboard. I was able to find a replacement but it was from a newer model Tartan 27 and was a little too wide to fit in the centerboard slot. Seems like the earlier models (mine is #107) took a narrower centerboard. I still have the replacement if you would like to finish the product of grinding it down to fit. The boat sails fine without the centerboard but doesn't point as well as it could.
