Overview: The Tartan 535 features a raised salon and center cockpit deck layout that ensures exceptional on-deck visibility and security, serving as the foundation for its spacious interior arrangements. Equipped with a carbon fiber mast, it includes a small overlapping working headsail for upwind sailing, a furling reacher for off-wind performance, and a Leisure Furl™ in-boom furling system for the main sail.
Timeless Design: This design prioritizes outstanding performance and ease of handling. Leveraging Tartan's advanced lamination techniques, the 535's hull and deck composites are among the strongest, lightest, and safest available. The use of advanced composites optimizes weight, enhancing performance ratios and allowing for a higher ballast-to-displacement ratio, resulting in superior sail carrying capacity and stability.
Performance Sailplans: Upwind, the 535 is driven by a high-performance 105% roller furling jib, which allows for easier tacking and improved visibility. This sail can also be furled down to a 90% jib without sacrificing shape. Offwind, a masthead roller furling reacher maximizes performance and can easily be handled by a couple. The two spreader carbon mast, which is 50% lighter than an aluminum mast, adds strength and efficiency, while rod rigging further minimizes weight aloft, reducing stretch and windage. These weight savings enhance the 535's ability to carry sails, improve sea-keeping motion, and bolster stability.
Exceptional Stability: Designed for cruising enthusiasts who value performance, the Tartan 535 features a 46.5-foot waterline and a displacement-to-length ratio of 165, ensuring impressive daily passages and rewarding sailing experiences. The hull design includes a narrow entry for good upwind performance and broad aft quarters for powerful sailing when the sheets are eased. The hull maintains a symmetrical shape even when heeled, ensuring consistent directional stability. Coupled with a high ballast-to-displacement ratio and low center of gravity keel designs, the 535 is a remarkably stable and well-mannered yacht.
Effortless Handling: Performance and ease of handling start with the right rigging. The Leisure Furl™ in-boom furling system, honed over 15 years, offers a safe and efficient way to reef and control the mainsail. Each Leisure Furl boom is custom-engineered for the Tartan 535, elegantly tapered to enhance aesthetics and reduce weight.
Luxurious Interiors: The interior of the 535 is available in various layouts, all meticulously crafted by Tartan artisans using varnished cherry joinery and premium fabrics. Designed for long passages, the Tartan 535 sets a new standard in its class with innovative cruising features.
Optimal Deck Design: Tartan’s deck design emphasizes wide side decks for safe and easy movement. The deep and secure cockpit not only provides a perfect spot for entertaining but also facilitates easy handling while sailing. Ample ventilation is achieved through numerous port-lights and hatches, creating an airy atmosphere below deck, whether at the dock or underway. With 12 house side opening port-lights, 2 cockpit port-lights, 4 Dorades, and 10 deck hatches, ventilation is a key focus for Tartan.
Ample Storage Solutions: On-deck storage, often a concern with center cockpit designs, is prioritized in the 535. It includes three large deck lockers, a forward locker, and two additional storage units in the aft quarters, offering plenty of space for cruising gear. Outfitted with top-quality hardware and equipment, the deck exemplifies comfort, safety, and efficiency.
Comfort Onboard: Understanding that each owner has unique needs, the 535 offers a variety of standard interior layouts, including options for 3 or 4 cabins and an optional raised interior nav/remote helm station. Each arrangement features two spacious head compartments with full shower stalls, a luxurious main cabin in the raised salon area, a full navigation station, and a galley designed to satisfy any passionate chef. The extensive use of laminated curved trims, solid stock panel doors, and cabinetry finished to a satin sheen envelops you in elegance and comfort. The interior layout, leveraging the center cockpit and raised salon design, is expansive, inviting, and thoughtfully planned.
