2001 Tayana Vancouver 42

The Tayana Vancouver 42 is a proven offshore cruiser built on a hull design that balances traditional double-ended styling with modern underwater performance. The modified fin keel and skeg-hung rudder create an easily-driven, seakindly platform suited to extended voyages. A generous waterline and 12.5-foot beam provide substantial volume for storage and living space, while the trunk cabin configuration offers a more traditional appearance and lower profile that enhances the yacht's character. The center cockpit layout separates the aft cabin, providing privacy and additional stowage for those committed to extended cruising.

Power comes from a single 75 hp Yanmar diesel, supported by a fiberglass hull that has proven itself across nearly 200 built examples. The yacht's semi-custom construction allows for interior modifications tailored to individual cruising needs. This 2001 example has undergone extensive refit work, including replacement standing rigging, a water maker, solar power systems, a hard dodger, and updated electronics. The work completed positions the boat as a capable platform ready for serious offshore use.
