Tayana Sundeck Trawler

Its time to move on for me, so I have decided to put my trawler up for sale. I purchased this boat almost 12 years ago and it has been my home until the last week of August.

This is a high quality trawler, extremely solid hull, precision woodwork. Tayana is very well known in the sailboat world and certainly respected. Tayana produced only a handful of these trawlers as a typhoon destroyed their molds early on and they did not repair or reproduce them.

Pictures talk by themselves. I have removed all my personal belongings so what you see is what you get.

Here are a few highlights of the boat:

Hull and deck

Hull is very solid with no known issues like de-lamination or blisters. Last haul out was just over 2 years ago. Bottom painted and some thru-hull fittings and seacocks either serviced or replaced.

Originally the deck featured solid teak, but needed replacement, which was quite expensive, so I decided to remove the teak and apply non-skid. At that time two soft spots in the forward deck were repaired by replacing the core and re-glassing the deck. All deck is very solid right now.

All the deck hardware is high quality, with massive Samson posts fore and aft and Herreshof style cleats amidships.

Brightwork is old and needs attention. Teak is in good condition.
