1983 Tayana 52 Aft Cockpit

This 1983 Tayana 52 is a blue water cruising yacht designed by Bob Perry, built to withstand extended offshore passages. The hull is fiberglass, and the boat carries a single 72-horsepower Perkins diesel engine capable of pushing the yacht to approximately 8 knots under power.

The design centers on practicality for long-distance cruising. Three staterooms provide accommodation for extended voyages or cruising with guests, alongside two heads serving the living areas. The aft cockpit layout places the helm in a traditional position, offering good sightlines and a natural flow for watch-keeping and deck work.

Built during Tayana's period of establishing themselves as serious ocean-going cruising yachts, this boat represents the builder's reputation for solid construction and seaworthiness. The yacht has been maintained as an active cruiser and remains ready for blue water sailing.
