1989 Tayana 55

This 1989 Tayana 55 is a heavy-displacement cruising yacht built on a fiberglass hull with a 16-foot beam. She measures 55 feet overall and carries a single 135-horsepower Perkins diesel engine paired with an 8-kilowatt Westerbeke generator (938 hours). The engine room is fully appointed with mechanical systems designed for offshore reliability.

The interior features old-growth teak joinery throughout two cabins, a centerline aft berth, and two heads with separate shower stalls. Storage is generous throughout the accommodation spaces. Climate control is provided by two Webasto reverse-cycle air-conditioning units—16,000 BTU forward and 8,000 BTU aft. A 24-volt Vetus 8-horsepower bow thruster aids maneuvering.

The boat underwent substantial refitting between 2011 and 2017. Hinkley Marine professionally removed the original teak decks and repaired the fiberglass structure underneath. The electrical system was modernized at that time, with an entirely new panel and wiring throughout. The chain plates have been replaced.

Tender and auxiliary power are provided by a Northern Atlantic 8-foot aluminum inflatable dinghy and a 2011 Yamaha 9.9-horsepower outboard.
