The Tartan 3700 was first introduced in 2000 and was in production until 2016, with 188 hulls built. There are basically three versions of the 3700, even though they were not marketed as such. The designer was Tim Jackett.
| Year | Hull | Core | Spars | Hull Numbers | |
| 2000-2003 | Vinylester | Foam | Alumnium | 1-50 | 50-60 Epxoy/Alum |
| 2004-2008 | Epoxy | Foam | Carbon | 60-113 | |
| 2008-2016 | Epoxy | Foam | Carbon/Solent | 114-188 |
There were changes to the interior during the production, but it was more fine-tuning, such as deleting a vanity and adding more storage, or adding cherry hull sides in the cabin. The big changes were construction and spars.
