| Tayana
Yachts is well known for building some of the best sailing
yachts to come from the Far East. The 55' cutter is
the Flagship of their fleet and is considered among of the
best in her class.
This particular
Tayana 55 has a three stateroom floor plan with a full
beam master cabin aft, a stand up engine room, full beam
salon, passageway galley, twin staterooms forward, and a
walk-in sail locker. The interior is very tastefully
done.
Custom built to
the original owner's demanding specifications, this may be
the best Tayana 55 ever built. To oversee the
construction from day-1 the original owner took up a
residence near the factory. This was his fifth boat,
he wanted it built for a circumnavigation, and he
left no detail ignored. A Maritime lawyer by trade,
he also made sure the boat would exceed the highest Lloyds
of London specifications.
Laminated by
hand, only Isophthalic resin was used and the deck and
hull lamination schedules were done with solid fiberglass
(no core materials to age and soften from possible water
intrusion). Wherever the factory had been using iron
in areas such as the inner support grids for the keel and
rudder, or the 'shoes' at the bottom leading edge of
rudder and keel, stainless steel was specified.
From the custom
Forespar self-furling mast with Navtec rigging to the
dovetail & tongue and groove joinery for the Teak
interior, every aspect of the original construction and
rigging specifications that could be improved upon were
taken to the highest standards. The result is a
beautifully designed and constructed yacht that has been
successfully cruised, professionally maintained, and has
stood up to the test of time and sea without fault.
If you are
looking for a tastefully appointed yacht that is capable
of short handed world cruising with safety, performance
and comfort, and if you would rather not spend a million
or more to do so, then this is a yacht that requires your
serious consideration.
