2001 Tayana 55

The 2001 Tayana 55 is a proven offshore cruising ketch with a fiberglass hull and a reputation for strength and seaworthiness. Powered by a Yanmar diesel engine producing 140 horsepower, the yacht features an in-boom furling system and a bow thruster that makes handling straightforward in confined waters. The sailing rig is designed for easy management, and the boat carries an upgraded windlass with a 110-pound Bruce anchor, custom chain brake, and snubber. At 55 feet long with a 16-foot beam, it is well-suited to Intracoastal Waterway passage.

Below deck, the accommodation layout includes four cabins and two heads, arranged to serve families or cruising couples with guests. A deck saloon distributes natural light throughout the interior. The galley is positioned for convenient provisioning and cooking while underway. Engine room access is straightforward, and a custom freshwater flush system draws from the galley sink drain to rinse the seawater cooling system.

The yacht has been maintained with particular attention to detail. The engine runs approximately 1,100 hours and the generator around 195 hours, both used exclusively during their operating cycles. The owner equipped the boat with redundancy in critical systems: four extra anchors, additional mooring pendants stored aboard for replacement if needed, and custom-built tool holders throughout. The interior joinery reflects the quality characteristic of Tayana construction.
