Tartan 4600 With Shallow Draft Keel-Ac-Gen-Beautiful - Available now-Listed on 3/17/2015

Owner's Comments:

"Sails Call" is configured as a couple-friendly Sloop/Convertible Cutter rig - hydraulic backstay adjuster, bow thruster and electric main halyard winch - year-in and year-out "Sails Call" safely delivered us to our ports-of-call during weather that ranged from sunny/low humidity - sideways rain and wind that gave us light zephyrs - a double reefed main and headsail-reduced sailing. At most of our stopping and layover points, we opted to be on “the hook”. During fair weather conditions listening to music or reading in the cockpit was our preferred pastime until we surrendered to the biting no-see-um midges or retired for the evening. When it was too hot or too cold we opted for the below deck to watch TV, a movie or listen to music while the genset performed double duty cooling/heating the cabin and charging the house batteries.

Since new, "Sails Call" benefitted from continuous maintenance, repairs and upgrade installations performed by the people at Haven Harbour Marina in Rock Hall, Maryland. During the inaugural season of sailing, the first upgrade was to add a double fuel filter system to address a filter that tended to become clogged with pieces of debris that were in the fuel tank. While the fuel clogging problem self-corrected once we progressed through season one, we gained peace-of-mind knowing we have a back-up fuel filter that can be engaged with the flip of a lever. Other upgrades are a combination of “form” and “function” items. The latter include replacing the factory installed refrigerator/ freezer with a two-compressor Sea Frost refrigeration/freezer system that “sips” rather than “guzzles” from the house batteries, installing a tri-color LED mast light, better constructed water tanks, replacing, the inverter/battery charger, bilge, sump and pressurized water system pumps and aged LPG tanks, and upgrading the windlass. Creature comfort “form” installations are vacu-flush toilets in both heads, a replaced forward AC/Heat unit, Sirius AM/FM radio with DVD/CD player that is controlled below and in the cockpit, current generation dual station Raymarine electronics (depth, speed, autopilot, chart plotter/radar) and VHF radio, a Bose Surround sound system and a bulkhead mounted “Smart” flat screen HD TV with a “Smart” HD Wi-Fi Blue-ray Disc Player.

During the 2015 winter/spring, "Sails Call" has receive an indoor exterior and interior cosmetic refurbishing. As the 2015 season begins, she is one of the best performing, beautifully detailed and outstandingly outfitted quality 46' shoal draft sailboats on the Chesapeake Bay. Who will be Sails Call’s next steward? Maybe it will be you!

"Sails Call" is a beautiful example of the very desirable Tartan 4600 that has had been maintained in Bristol condition....Fred Wise Yacht Survey LLc. Please email or call us to receive a copy of this pre-purchase report that should be completed and available by the end of March!

Manufacturer's Comments:

The shape of her hull depicts a vessel with authority and agility, easily propelled through the water regardless of the conditions. The balanced spade rudder and beavertail keel provide the appropriate directional and lateral stability to maintain control under all circumstances, while her steering ability is as responsive as a boat 5 feet shorter and several thousand pounds lighter. The use of innovative materials and methods for construction fabricate strong, light and well-insulated hull and deck structures. Laminated from the highest grade NPG-isophthalic gelcoat, vinylester and polyester resins and unidirectional "E" glass, locally reinforced with Kevlar on a balsa core, she yields a high strength-to-weight ratio. Extensive framing, structural floor timbers and full structurally-bonded bulkheads further maintain her hull rigidity, while allowing for greater load carrying ability. Below deck she is dramatic in layout. Her standard plan is perfectly fit for two couples, granting each their own sleeping quarters and separate entrance. Equipped with some of the finest luxuries desired by any sailor, the Tartan 4600 offers an array of kingly commodities both on deck and down below. Suited for serious cruising by a crew or a couple, her masthead rig and lines are designed for easy handling. Main halyard, reefs and main sheet are lead aft, while the genoa and optional spinnaker halyard are led to a winch located to the starboard side of the mast. Her electric main halyard winch, oversized sail-handling winches, cockpit adjustable genoa lead and Harken Bat slide mainsail system are just a few of the many thoughtful touches standard with her design.
