Hull material

The Tartan 38 and 37 were the same hull form but the 38 was the more performance profiled model. Featuring a taller rig, deeper keel, and about 2600 lbs lighter, and a bit larger cockpit. You know in a second, just as soon as you walk down below the fine woodwork that Tartan "hung there hat" on for many years, "Regale" is much more then a race boat. When you read the maintenance log starting in 1988 through 2025 no doubt this boat has been LOVED and it shows it.
