Side Aye is a two owner very well-kept example of the Tartan 3400. She was built in 2009 but not commissioned until 2013 due to the financial crisis. She was a freshwater boat until 2018 at which time she was purchased by her current owner. She features gleaming dark blue topsides and a cream-colored deck, coach roof and cockpit. She is easily single/shorthanded with all halyards and control lines led aft to the cockpit. Her Harken electric winch and auto pilot further aid in single/short handing. Her solid cherry joinery with teak and holly sole gives Side Aye a comfortable and warm feel. Her nine opening ports and two ventilation hatches provide great ventilation while at anchor or at the dock. Her generous sized cockpit featuring dark blue cushions with white piping make for a comfortable experience while under sail or at the mooring. She is turnkey and ready for her next adventure.

Galley  

To port is the galley with a Force Ten 2 burner propane stove, microwave oven, large sink with hot and cold pressure water, generous ice chest with 12v DC refrigeration plate, and ample storage make preparing meals a breeze. She features cream colored solid surface counter tops set against the cherry trim and cabinetry. 

Nav Station/Chart Table

The Chart table is to starboard and opposite the galley. She features a Raymarine C120 Chart Plotter, an Icom IC-M422 VHF radio and ample storage for charts. The ships 120 volt and 12 volt distribution panels (and battery switch) are also located at the chart table.

Main Salon 

Forward of the galley and Chart Table are 2 generous settees with cream colored leather upholstery. A dinette table is mounted in the center with two large table leaves to allow for seating for 4-6 while dining. Outboard above and behind the seat back cushions are cabinets and shelves for more storage.  A blue tooth-enabled Fusion stereo system with Sony speakers provides for a great listening experience for all your music needs.

Forward Stateroom

The forward stateroom is located forward of the main cabin bulkhead and features a comfortable v-berth with a custom mattress topper pad. Hanging and storage lockers are located port and starboard.  Two opening ports, an opening hatch, and 12 volt fan provide for ample ventilation.

Aft Stateroom

The aft stateroom is located just behind the galley and features a queen-sized double berth with a custom mattress topper pad. An opening port and 12 volt fan provide for ventilation.

Head

The head is located just aft of the chart table and features a Raritan marine electric head, sink vanity with hot and cold pressure water, and a shower with a molded in seat. Below the vanity and behind the shower seat are lockers for storage of toiletries and towels.
