WILLOW

1986, Tartan 28 Sloop, 28'



This 1986 Tartan 28, WILLOW is a Sparkman & Stephens design that combines a fast and agile modern underbody with classic Tartan interior and exterior craftsmanship. Her fin keel/spade rudder design allows for speed and maneuverability whether under sail or powered with her diesel auxiliary. The double spreader rig is powerful yet easy to handle with control lines led aft.

WILLOW is a fast, performance-oriented sailboat that doubles as a comfortable family cruiser. WILLOW features a teak interior that is spacious, well ventilated and can easily sleep 4-5, ideal for a young family coastal cruise to the Islands. Below decks you are treated to a rich oiled teak interior with standing headroom and plenty of ventilation for overnight stays onboard. Forepeak double berths and a salon double berth make for comfortable private accommodations for a couple of couples enjoying time on the water. The aft berth is extra-long, perfect for an outsized adult.

WILLOW is nice clean boat, well maintained and ready to go.
