About
1983 Tartan 42 – Classic Sparkman & Stephens Cruiser with Major Offshore Upgrades
This 1983 Tartan 42 is a classic Sparkman & Stephens cruiser with the upgrades serious sailors want in a ready-to-cruise package: new standing rigging in 2020, 900W of solar, Automatic Spectra watermaker, CPT autopilot, Monitor windvane, serious ground tackle, updated sails, and new 2025 Sunbrella canvas and cockpit cushions. Well suited for coastal cruising or offshore passagemaking, she offers the solid construction, handsome teak interior, and balanced sailing performance that have made the Tartan 42 a respected design for decades.
What makes this boat especially compelling is the equipment and investment already in place for comfortable passagemaking and extended cruising. Highlights include all new standing rigging installed in December 2020, 900 watts of solar, Spectra Ventura 2000c watermaker, windvane self-steering plus CPT autopilots, strong electronics package, and updated sail inventory including a 2019 fully battened mainsail and 2021 furling genoa. Recent canvas and cockpit upgrades, including custom cockpit cushions and new Sunbrella covers in 2025, add comfort and presentation value. The full setup was cruised throughout last year and is ready to sail.
Down below, the interior offers the warmth and craftsmanship Tartan is known for, with rich teak joinery, a spacious salon, and accommodations suited for extended cruising or liveaboard use. On deck, she is set up for confident short-handed sailing with a practical sail plan, robust Lewmar winches, and substantial ground tackle.
Whether your plans include coastal cruising, offshore passages, or simply owning one of the more respected classic 42-footers ever built, this Tartan 42 deserves serious consideration.
