1983 Tayana 55

The 1983 Tayana 55 is a center-cockpit cutter-rigged yacht built from fiberglass with teak joinery throughout. Designed for offshore cruising, she features the hull shape and robust construction characteristic of the model's reputation for seaworthiness and stability in open water.

The boat offers three cabins and two heads, with a layout suited to extended time at sea. The accommodations include spacious areas typical of the 55's design, which has proven popular with cruising sailors seeking comfort on longer passages.

Power comes from a single Perkins Sabre diesel engine rated at 135 horsepower. The yacht carries generous tankage for fuel and water, supporting self-sufficient voyaging. The boat is currently in need of maintenance and restoration work.
