The Tartan 34C is a traditional design sailing yacht. It is a keel centerboard with great
windward performance and is capable of cruising shallow waters. It was designed by the
globally-renowned nautical architects Sparkman Stephens in 1969 as a blue-water racing and
cruising boat. When first launched, the Tartan 34C won the Newport-Bermuda race among
other well known competitive racing events. As a cruising boat, the Tartan 34C has been sailed
around the world. It continues to be sailed around the planet to this day.

This Tartan 34C, the AGAMEMNON, is in good condition. I bought the boat in 2011 from the
original owner, who bought it new. Under my ownership, it was re-powered in 2012 with a
30hp Yanmar diesel engine. It was fitted with a new drive train and a new exhaust system to
the stern. The bottom was blasted clean and repainted with an epoxy undercoat. The mast
was stripped and repainted.

I have sailed this boat with my family in the coastal waters between New York City and Boston.
It has a few upgrades from the original. It has a Datamarine wind and water instrumentation
install that I have never used. I have made some deck replacement repairs around both
chainplate areas. There is a deck repair spot to starboard of the forward cabin that needs
repair. All other systems have aged appropriately under the care of attentive and safetyconscious
sailors.

One more thing to note - there is an active Tartan 34C Association, a boat owners association
with events and resources helpful to 34C owners . The association is a testament to the high
regard in which this boat is held.
